Widcombe Parade dates from 1780-90, predating both Widcombe Crescent and Widcombe Terrace (1805). The streets of Widcombe village from 1730 onwards were considerably different to today – lost terraces like Coburg Place adjoined Sussex Place, whilst Waterloo Buildings occupied the riverside land where Rossiter Road now runs. Prior Park Road was often called "Mr Allens Way" and Ralph Allen had (in 1730) commissioned John Wood to construct Allens Row (now Prior Park cottages). The local Poor House stood in Millbrook Place from 1777 (demolished in 1961 and replaced by the houses of Armes Court). Other lost terraces behind Widcombe Parade include Chapmans Cottages, Fishers Court and Bartletts Court (whose name lives on in a development of flats on Widcombe Parade).

Formerly listed as Claverton Street (south side) 13 - 15, this building on Widcombe Parade was, in 1873, under the ownership of Charles Collins and named Victoria House ("The Genuine Bath Bun House"). Mr Collins was not only a fancy bread and biscuit baker but also held a wine licence and supplied "fine quality teas".

Tenure is long leasehold - 999yrs (969yrs remaining).
