Statement of Interest

Wood's map is rather unclear as to the properties built between Bath Street and Regent Street along Portobello High Street. It would suggest that this terrace of buildings were not built. However they are to be found upon Sutter's and the 1st edition OS maps. The listing includes Nos 178A and 178B Portobello High Street.
