royal crescent









































the royal crescent is a row of 30 terraced houses laid out in a sweeping crescent in the city of bath, england. designed by the architect john wood, the younger and built between 1767 and 1774, it is among the greatest examples of georgian architecture to be found in the united kingdom and is a grade i listed building. although some changes have been made to the various interiors over the years, the georgian stone façade remains much as it was when first built.

designed in 1839, the royal crescent is one of the most architecturally interesting nineteenth century developments in holland park. evidently inspired by its older namesake in bath, it differs from the bath crescent in that it is not strictly a true crescent but rather two quadrant terraces each terminated by a circular bow in the regency style, rising as a tower, a feature which would not have been found in the earlier classically inspired architecture of the 18th century which the design of the crescent seeks to emulate. the plan of the royal crescent was the design of the planner robert cantwell, and it was the need for the newly fashionable underground sewers which caused the crescent to be designed in two halves rather than any consideration for architectural aesthetics. on early maps it is marked as norland crescent.
