Falmouth Road

Falmouth Road was called Brunswick Street until 1868. The houses were built by various builders in the same style as Trinity Street at a similar time. The west side remains, as a terrace. The east side contained more ornate houses, faced with stucco. These were replaced by a British Telecom depot in the 1960s, in its turn then replaced by the substantial block of flats called Chadwick Square.

Nos. 45–57 were built by Henry Ashley Keeble, surveyor, under a building lease dated 9th December 1830, from the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury and the Brandon Trustees. They are faced with stucco. Nos. 45–55 with the pointed gables, castellations and Gothic label mouldings over the windows bear more resemblance to the cottages ornés of the Regency style than to the uniform terraces of the Trinity Estate.
