Victoria Grove

Victoria Grove is a very quiet street which lies in the middle of Gloucester Road on the east and Launceston Place on the west.

The east side of the street has mainly commercial premises, including a French restaurant, neighbourhood pub and a post office/newsagents.

Both sides of the street have terrace of houses. Those on the south side are mainly two storeys (plus basements, plus loft conversions) with the ground floor windows unusually designed as three sections. The houses on the north side are particularly unusual and have a small, protruding, built-in canopy just above ground level.

Victoria Grove was part of the Inderwick Estate. Work on the original houses here began in 1837 and they were completed by 1841.

There is a terrace of house on the south side, which are Nos. 1-13 Victoria Grove and No 35 Launceston Place. They are stuccoed houses. Inderwick built Nos. 10 and 11. A number of other local builders were involved in the construction of the rest. The houses were built on the north side at around the same time. This includes Albert Lodge.

Nos. 19-25, which have an iron canopy, were built by J.R. Butler at about this time.
