History

Decorative garden wall, presumably earlier C19 and built for Belmont Houses, now the Imperial Hotel, across The Paragon, whose garden became the roadway for The Paragon in the C19. The houses were built in the 1830s. The Gothic niches appear purely decorative, though they could have been for bee-skeps. There is a wall marked here on the 1849 map.

Exterior

Garden wall, now facing roadway of The Paragon, rubble with rendered plinth and decorative coping of water-eroded rocks. Tooled limestone quoins at right end, left end abuts rear of town wall. Recessed within the wall to the right of centre, in that part of the wall against the left side of Quaintways, are a series of pointed niches with red brick heads and flush sills, seven in all, with a taller one in the centre. The jambs and heads are splayed inwards but openings were never pierced right through.

Reasons for Listing

Included as a decorative garden wall with Gothic niches, now part of the street character of The Paragon.
