History
Semi-detached house of c1875, a pair with Bedford House adjoining. Sutton Street was part of the South Cliff development laid out in 1864 to plans by J Shipway, intended to have a terrace of 10 houses each side. In the event it was built more piecemeal, these two houses and the pair opposite, Sherborne House and Hereford House were built in the 1870s and the street was never completed. The designs bear similarities to other houses in the development. Occupied by Joseph Hundley 1926.
