Named after Ralph Allen (1693-1764), the influential entrepreneur and philanthropist who transformed the fortunes of Bath through the development of the local stone quarries, the cottages occupy a notable position on one of the principal approaches to the city.

Built in the local limestone that helped define Bath's distinctive character, the terrace displays the simple elegance and harmonious proportions for which the city is renowned.

Today, Ralph Allen Cottages remain an appealing example of Bath's historic residential architecture, combining period character and craftsmanship with the convenience of modern city living.
