Graham Davis terms the Kingsmead construction of this period "part of the third and last of the city's spectacular advances " in Georgian architecture. The immediate area is also known for links to Horatio Nelson his wife lodged in New King St and the next three streets westwards are named in his honour (Norfolk Crescent after his county of birth, Nelson Villas/Place and Nile St).
