Description
Looking south at the front elevations of terraced houses at 30-44 (right to left, consecutive) on the east side of Trinity Church Square (Trinity Square until the 1930s), Newington. Numbers 25-29 (right to left) on the south side are visible in the distance. These are three-storey-plus-attic-and-basement terraces in late Georgian style with neo-classical features. The houses on the east side of the square were completed in the late 1820s as part of the development by William Chadwick. Victorian gas street lamp standards have painted white stripes from the World War II blackout. A pillar box stands just south of the corner. Trees stand on the east side of Holy Trinity Church. The church's drive has a stone gate pier on each side, one of which is is lying on the ground. The gates and balustrades have been removed for wartime metal salvage. The roads are paved with wooden blocks surfaced with tar, areas of which have worn away. The Victorian street lamps were replaced with lamps on concrete columns, and these in turn replaced with reproduction Victorian lamp standards. The gate piers were restored and reproduction replacement lamp standards fitted thereupon. The gates and balustrades were replaced with reproductions of the originals. The pillar box was replaced with a larger one a few yards around the corner. Numbers 30-44 are Grade II listed, including the balustrades, listing number 1385996, as are the gate piers, listing number 1385999. The square is within the Trinity Village Conservation Area.
