Description
Looking east at the front elevations of terraced houses at 45-54 (right to left) on the north side of Trinity Church Square (Trinity Square until the 1930s and formerly part of Trinity Street), Newington. It is a three-storey-plus-attic-and-basement terrace in late Georgian style with neo-classical features. The houses on the north side of the square were completed in the late 1820s as part of the development by William Chadwick. Differences in detailing are seen on numbers 51-53 compared to the other houses: the stucco on the ground floor walls is not rusticated, the ground-floor windows have slightly lower sills, the first -floor windows are in round arched insets, neither the first nor second-floor windows are surrounded by moulded stucco architraves, and the front doors have bracketed hoods. These variations to the style are to make the north terrace of the square symmetrical by mirroring the details of the corresponding houses to the west, numbers 60-62, which had been built c1815 in Great Suffolk Street East and were incorporated into the terrace in what was renamed Trinity Street. Numbers 48-50 were destroyed by bombing on 10 May 1941 and rebuilt in 1954 to the original design. Iron balustrades guard areas. Cars parked on the left include MG Midget, Morris Minor 1000 Series V Traveller, Ford Cortina Mk 1, and Ford Corsair 2000E. The side of an Austin A40 Farina is seen on the right, and behind it a Sunbeam Stiletto. A leaning pillar box stands on the corner. Numbers 45-68 including the balustrades are Grade II listed, listing number 1385997. The square is within the Trinity Village Conservation Area.
