The listing includes No 20A Bath Street. According to W Baird, Bath Street was opened for feuing in 1802, but little was built until later, particularly in the early 1820s. The appearance of this pair of houses on Wood's map of 1824 shows that these were amongst the earlier villas to be erected in the street. Sutter's map shows extensions to the rear of both houses, although apparently then more extensive to
No 18.
