History
The terrace was built in 1780. It was designed by Joseph Turner, and originally consisted of ten town houses.[1] The terrace became known as "Pillbox Promenade", or "Pillbox Row", because many of the houses were used as doctors' surgeries. It is the "longest and most uniform of any of the Georgian properties in Chester".[2]
Architecture
The houses are constructed in brown brick in Flemish bond, with stone dressings and grey slate roofs. They are in three storeys plus a basement, and contain sash windows.[1]

gollark: When you said "actual replacement" I assumed you meant "not a currency with slightly different implementation".
gollark: What would that involve? Some kind of magic decentralized optimal planning algorithm?
gollark: I don't know if the other vaguely Chromiumy browsers keep that.
