Terrace of houses. 1852-53 by John Louth Clemence for Sir

Roofs originally of slate, now partly concrete tile. Raised
central block and end pavilions, the latter defined by
rusticated quoins and hipped roofs. 3 storeys and basements.
Each house with a 2-storey canted bay and a porch entrance.
Fenestration originally of horned sashes without glazing bars,
now mostly mid-late C20 casements. Each house with a stack on
the front and rear roof slopes. Part of the extensive plan for
housing originally devised in 1846 by J.L. Clemence for Sir
Samuel Morton Peto for the development of Lowestoft as a
fashionable holiday resort, made possible by the building of
the railway by Peto in the 1840's.
