Three storeys with attics and cellars, single depth plan, No.7 has rear extension. Main front has nine windows, one:two:three:two:one, the centre and ends being slightly advanced. Band at first floor level, at first and second floor sill level, Vitruvian scroll above first floor windows except for centre three bays.

All windows are twelve pane sashes except for first floor windows of Nos.6 and 7 where the sill has been dropped and the sashes are now six/nine pane. Left return (No.6) has two windows and a blind recess on each floor. The right return (No.9) has four windows, the outer ones on narrow curved corner bays. Flat topped dormers, mostly small paned. Tall ashlar stacks, most with pots surviving. Nos.6 and 7 have Victorian shop fronts (No.7 is mid C19). No.8 has a larger double fronted shop front of high quality, dating from c.1830-40, rising up to first floor sill level, with ornamental cast iron undersill panels in the Greek Revival manner. No.9 has a six panel door with two glazed panels and fanlight over, plus modern plate glass windows with pram hood blinds, but these are set into an early C19 shop front, shown with the arched window heads in a print of 1817. INTERIORS: Not inspected. HISTORY: This terrace was first designed by Thomas Baldwin in c1790, but rebuilding was delayed until after his financial fall in 1793 and it was subsequently carried out to a revised design. Part of the comprehensive remodelling of the centre of the city around the Pump Room at this time, this row included a number of prominent shops from the outset.
