In the late 18th century The Georgian New Town was the first substantial development to occur outside the line of the Town Walls. The initial development consisted of terraces of houses built up to the street corners, except for the planned open space of Kingston Square. It is the area of the city where terraces from the late 18th and early 19th centuries survive in the greatest numbers. Its position close to the town centre also resulted in a substantial number of public buildings being constructed, several of which still survive.
