Four terrace houses stepped downhill from London Road to left, forming a continuation of right return of Nos.27A-29 Walcot Buildings (qv). 1792-1794 (see below).

PLAN: Double depth plans.
EXTERIOR: Three storeys and basements, one or two window fronts. Facades continuous but coped parapets vary in height, Nos.1 and 2 have continuous coved cornice and timber bressumers below ground floor platband, Nos.3 and 4 similar. Nos.1-3 have two window range with shared sills to paired six/six pane sash windows to upper floors and six panel door to left. No.4 has one-window range with trellised balconette to first floor.
INTERIORS: Not inspected. No.2 was divided into three units in 1986.
HISTORY: "four houses now building intended to be called Weymouth Street" were recorded in the bankruptcy proceedings of J Franklin of 4 Weymouth Street in May 1794. The lease of 2 Weymouth Street is dated 1792, and the house was offered for sale in the Bath Chronicle 20 November 1794. No. 4 was the home of the sculptor John Osborne (died in poverty in 1838), the artist responsible for the noted 'Jupiter' head in Royal Victoria Park. The austere fronts of these houses reflects both the aesthetic preferences of this phase of Bath's Neo-classicism, and the relatively humble nature of the initial development, completed at a time of great economic uncertainty.
