15 PRINCE ALBERT STREET

This Victorian mansion was built in 1843 for Mr Isaac Bass, who was chiefly responsible for the construction of this street, linking Ship Street with Market Street. In the 1850’s it passed into ownership of Mr John Catt, the brewer, and it was still occupied by him as a private dwelling in 1892. After his death it was occupied as Solicitors’ offices though the extensive garden remained. The ugly shops, which now disfigure the site, were erected early this century, No.15b dating from 1903 and 15a about 1907. The photograph was taken in July 1897 when the house was put up for sale by auction.
