Taken around 1917 or 1918 by the talented photographer Arthur William Jordan, this image showcases the grandeur and flamboyance of these remarkable houses. The late 18th-century terrace, listed as grade II due to its historical significance, exudes a distinct French Renaissance and Baronial architectural style. The intricate details and ornate features are a testament to the craftsmanship of that era.
