History

Part of a development at the entrance of the town by William Owen including the New Bridge and two terraces facing each other, now Nos 1 to 17 Victoria Place, completed in 1839. Part of the terrace, especially the eastern end, may date from before then. (See early C19 prints). The town improvements began as a result of a special Act of Parliament of 1835, but the terraces were named in commemoration of the accession of Queen Victoria in June 1837. The N terrace is plainer than that on the S, and has fewer houses, all with bracketed eaves, cornice over the ground floor and sill band to the top floor. The ground floors, all altered, had a square-headed recessed doorway and a tripartite sash window. No 2 has been demolished and No 10 is a replica of c. 1974, and No 12 occupies an important position with end elevation to the river. No 6 was an estate agents office in 1884 and offices of Williams & Williams, solicitors in 1926.

Exterior

Terraced house now commercial premises, painted stucco with slate roof and paired brackets to overhanging eaves. Three storeys, two bays with sill band at second floor and moulded cornice at first floor level. Windows are hornless sashes, nine-pane to top floor and 12-pane to first floor. Ground floor late C20 shopfront designed as pair with shopfront of No 8, with band of green stone slabs over broad doorway to left of shop window. In 1974 there was still an original square-headed doorway and 12-pane sash window.

Interior

Interior not inspected. The ground floor appears altered. In 1974 it had an elegant contemporary staircase rising round a narrow elliptical well, and an elliptical arch at the end of the hall passage, similar to No 4.
