HISTORY: Lower end of terrace was unfinished in January, 1770 when Benjamin Axford had his lease postponed because of encroachment by river (Council Minutes). No.12 was bought by William Pulteney in 1789 for wharfage access, and it was offered for rent by the Estate on 25th September 1790. It was occupied by John Pinch the Elder in 1800 (Bath Directory). The name of the street was first Pitt Street (Peach), and was changed to Chatham Row in 1770. Pitt himself, however, became Earl of Chatham in 1766. Francis Kelly says Pulteney bought 10-12 and leased them to John Pinch.
