Calverley New Town

Calverley new town is part of Tunbridge Wells. It was designed and built by Decimus Burton, between 1827 and 1842. It was designed to rival the Georgian development of Bath. The development includes Calverley Park (all the buildings on this road are Grade II* listed), a development of large Georgian Villas, Calverley Park Crescent (similar to the Bath Crescent), Calverley Grounds (now a public park) and various other outlying streets. The whole area is part of a conservation area and many of the buildings are Grade II & II* listed.
