One of the earliest and best of Cheltenham's Regency terraces, Royal Crescent was built between 1805 and 1825 by Charles Harcourt, an architect from Bath, for Joseph Pitt, who also built Pittville Park, Estate and Pump Room. Note the well-crafted cast-iron railings and lamp holders, made by John Bradley of Worcester. The crescent was originally built as lodgings for visitors to the Spa. Princess Victoria visited the Duke of Gloucester here at No 18 in 1832.
