Apartment in Torquay, Devon, 15B Hesketh Crescent
Hesketh Crescent, based on the Regency ideals of London and Brighton, was completed in 1848. The Crescent (named after landowner Sir Lawrence Palk's marriage to Maria Hesketh in 1845) was built as fifteen private houses. No. 8 houses the Osborne Hotel with its own health club which is open to non-residents. No. 15 is situated at the end of the crescent closest to the sea.
