History
The terrace was built in 1780. It was designed by Joseph Turner, and originally consisted of ten town houses. The terrace became known as "Pillbox Promenade", or "Pillbox Row", because many of the houses were used as doctors' surgeries. It is the "longest and most uniform of any of the Georgian properties in Chester".
