Large three-storey house built to the street.
Belmont was built in 1873 for William Taylor, auctioneer, who lived there for thirty years. He died in 1903 leaving the house to his wife until her death. In later years it became an annexe to the Freemasons' Hospital, but was eventually demolished to create parking space.
