Regency houses, some with bow windows and good iron balconies. Note particularly the pair on the left which are in the Gothic style, with pointed arches over the first-floor bay windows and ogee mouldings over the front door.

Notice the 'dummy' windows (on the line of the internal wall) used to complete the symmetrical design.

William Hurst, the architect, lived at 6 Regent's Terrace. Woodhead and Hurst were the agents for the sale of the houses and it is likely that William Hurst was the architect for the whole terrace. William Hurst was born in 1787, his father being the landlord of the Salutation Inn. He was articled to William Lindley of the Pillared Houses, South Parade. From about 1810 Lindley was in partnership with John Woodhead and in 1815 Hurst became a partner in the firm; after Lindley's death in 1818 the practice became known as Woodhead and Hurst.
