This crescent was originally called Calverley Promenade.  It was built in 1828-1835 and was designed as shops with lodging houses above, but they later became houses. No 1 was the bath-house, and in the centre house was a reading room with a billiard room over.  Decimus Burton Architect.  Built of local Tunbridge Wells stone. The ground floor of the garden front is stuccoed.  3 storeys and basement cornice and parapet.  2 sashes to each with most glazing bars intact.  French windows on the 1st floor.  On the 1st floor is a continuous stuccoed balcony supported on a slender iron colonnade based on a raised platform with an iron railing above the colonnade.  The end houses (Nos 1 and 17) and the 3 centre houses (Nos 8, 9 and 10) project slightly and have a cornice below the top floor.  The end houses also have curved bays at the sides. Nos 1 to 17 (consec) form a group.
