Cadw's description
Location
At W end of building line on S side of Castle Street.
History
Circa 1840; no buildings shown here on 1834 "Plan of Brecknock", and at the time of the building of the Market House (1838-41), Lord Tredegar gave £200 towards the widening of Castle Street.
Formerly listed with Nos 1 to 3 Berkeley Place which were structurally part of the same block, but demolished for road improvements in early C21.
Reason for designation
Good terrace of early-to-mid C19 buildings retaining their character in important street in historic centre of Brecon. Group Value with other listed buildings in Castle Street.
