If not designed by Richard Norman Shaw himself (much of this road is attributed to E. J. May), these houses on South Parade were certainly inspired by him: Reginald Turnor writes, "Shaw's housing, embodying curved gables, parapet roofs, and sash-windows, was a vast improvement on the general standards of the time" (102-3). The balustrades above the bays, and the upper storey windows, as well as the gables, are all features employed by Shaw.
