These premises constitute the whole of the south side of Castle Gate between Maid Marian Way and Castle Road.

They represent a range of town houses dating from the 17th to the 19th centuries. At various dates they were converted to business use, part of the range housing the City Architect's offices between the 1960s and 1974, when the costume and lace museums were installed. These moved out in 2004 and the buildings appear to have been largely unoccupied following that date. They were sold to a developer in 2013 and have now been re-converted to residential use as individual houses. No.55 and 57 have been combined, with no.59, originally a pair to 57, has been linked to Severns House as office accommodation.

All buildings are Listed Grade II.
