House of c1876, part of the building development on the South Cliff estate begun in 1864. The Victoria Street site with the W end of the Esplanade was called Ropewalk Fields and houses were building by 1872 when the Victoria Street had 10 houses in progress. The plots for Nos 29-33 were advertised in 1876. Built (and partly owned) by William Davies of Culver Park Tenby, builder. No 32 is notable as the childhood home of the artists Augustus and Gwen John, from 1884 when they moved from Haverfordwest after the death of their mother until 1895 when they went to the Slade art school in London. Augustus John describes the house, then called Victoria House, in his autobiography. Also notable as the house where Herbert M Vaughan wrote The South Wales Squires, published 1926. He was High Sheriff of Cardiganshire 1916-17.
