GEORGIAN, 1714-1830 (cont.)
The Georgian era is notably remembered as marking the summit of house design in Britain and it was a time of great urban growth. The density in towns meant that there was a need to pack a lot of houses into a small space. This need gave birth to the terrace. Terraces took several forms; often laid out in straight lines, but also in squares around a central garden space, or in crescents or oval ‘circuses’. Examples of these can be seen in London, Edinburgh, Bristol & Bath; their façades employing classical pilasters, pedimented doors and windows, and graceful mouldings.
