{1} Early C19 stucco fronted house of 3 storeys with 3 sash windows in reveals. Panelled door and fanlight in cast iron trelliswork porch. South-east side elevation described under No 1 Victoria Promenade. Nos 72 to 82 (even) form a group with No 1 Victoria Promenade.

{2} Early C19th stucco fronted house; 3 storeys; cast iron trelliswork porch; south-east side elevation described under 1 Victoria Promenade;

{3} Recording prior to the demolition of part of the rear of this Regency/ early 19th century building, which has much altered recently after an attack of dry rot.

{4} Number 82 first appears on the Northampton map of 1847 (Wood and Law) and is Regency/early 19th century in style. The original interior fittings, where they survive, reflect this date. The rear of the building appears to have been remodelled at the beginning of the 20°' century with a new kitchen and service area being built on the original footings. Recently the building has had an attack of dry rot which necessitated the removal of a high proportion of woodwork and plaster from the inner face of the exterior walls. At this time the servants' room on the first floor was re-roofed and the walls partially rebuilt in breeze block. The chimney for this room and the kitchen were also removed. Although these works have removed historic fabric from the building, the proposed demolition of part of the rear of the building has allowed a further detailed look at the construction and development of the building.
