Coleherne Mews

Coleherne Mews is a cobbled mews on the west side of Redcliffe Square. Some of the houses were built very recently and are brick, whereas others are painted in a variety of colours. The mews is cobbled and it is a wide mews. The houses consist mainly of three-storeys and at the northern end there is an arched entrance. Some of the houses have attractive roof gardens and small bay windows at ground floor level. Many of the houses have potted shrubs in the front.

Coleherne was an ancient name in the area. There had been a Coleherne House and a Coleherne Field in the days of arable farming.

Robert Gunter II granted leases to Corbett and McClymont of most of the land where they built Nos. 8-28 (even) and 5-29 (odd) in 1868-9. In 1866 they were also party to an arrangement by which Gunter leased the site of Nos. 1-4 (consec.) and No. 6 to John Beale, who must have been an associated builder.
