South Parade in Bath, Somerset, England, is a historic terrace built around 1743 by John Wood, the Elder.
[1][2] South Parade was part of a wider scheme to build a Royal Forum, including North Parade, Pierrepont and Duke Streets, similar to Queen Square, which was never completed.
Wood designed the facade, of Bath stone, after which a variety of builders completed the work with different interiors and rear elevations.
[4] Numbers 1, 2 and 3 (which is now the Halcyon Hotel and now includes Circo Bar and Lounge nightclub[5]) and numbers 4 to 8 (which became the 46 room Pratt's Hotel[6]) form a 3-storey terrace with a double break at the centre.
[2] On the southern side of the road is the Roman Catholic St John's Church, which was designed and built between 1861 and 1863 by Charles Francis Hansom[7] who added the 222 foot (68 metre) spire in 1867.
