Nelson Place West is a Grade II listed Georgian terrace of houses in Bath, Somerset, England.
[1] These features match the adjacent Norfolk Crescent, which was built as part of the same urban development.
[2] The architect who designed the matching facades of Nelson Place and Norfolk Crescent was probably John Palmer.
[3] Palmer's design for Nelson Place was a terrace of 23 houses, each 3 windows wide.
Unlike many other Bath houses, the attic windows are in the main facade, not in the roof.
1 and 2 Nelson Place were first leased c. 1817,[5] but it was no easy task to raise funds for the other planned 21 houses in the terrace.
Pinch designed very similar terraces elsewhere in Bath, such as Raby Place (Bathwick Hill).
These houses, two storeys high with front gardens, are very different to the Georgian terrace with its tall imposing facade.
In the 1970s a modern block of flats (Nelson House) was built in the gap between the Georgian and Victorian terraces.

Gordon was present at the Glorious First of June naval battle and (as a lieutenant) he was in command of HMS Wolverine when she was captured by the French in 1804.
