Description
Looking south at the front elevations of terraced houses at 1-15 (right to left, consecutive) on the west side of Trinity Church Square (Trinity Square until the 1930s), Newington. Numbers 16 and 17 (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 west side of the square were completed in the late 1820s as part of the development by William Chadwick. Numbers 2 and 3 each have a latticework balconet outside the first-floor window, and number 4 has low-level balconets with honeysuckle ornamentation. A pile of sand on the road outside number 3 and long poles stood in the area indicate building work in progress within. Number 16 Trinity Street is on the far right. A Victorian gas street lamp standard has a painted white stripe from the World War II blackout. A postman stands on the corner. A brick-built World War II structure occupies the pavement on the left. Number 16 Trinity Street was renumbered 22 Trinity Street. The Victorian street lamps were replaced with lamps on concrete columns, and these in turn replaced with reproduction Victorian lamp standards. The wartime structure was removed soon after the photo was taken. Numbers 1-15 are Grade II listed, including the balustrades, listing number 1385993. The square is within the Trinity Village Conservation Area.
