Earlier C19 terraced house built after development was initiated by the building of the Picton Monument 1825-8, marked on 1834 map, with large late C19 2-storey bay windows. Set back from, and lower than No 24 but possibly built as a pair with No 26. Said to have been occupied once by Walter Lloyd, chemist at No 12 Lammas Street. Doorcase, wrought-iron railings and gates match others on Picton Terrace, of 1825-35.
