first-floor elliptical window boxes have rod and central
circle motif, similar to those on Nos 11, 15, 17, 27, 31, 33

HISTORICAL NOTE: Col Riddell (c1800-36), a famous Regency
quack doctor, lived at No.16. Cheltenham's famous Dr Jenner
lived at No.22 between 1805-22 (since demolished). Originally
part of a symmetrical terrace of 4 (2 now destroyed) called St
George's Place, they gave their name eventually to the whole
street, which was formerly known as Stills Lane. This is the
earliest terrace of houses in the street and the earliest
terrace in Cheltenham. Stills Lane was the only road
connecting the High Street with the Royal Well Spa before the
Promenade.
