Crescent of 15 houses, now divided into holiday flats and hotel. 1846-48
The centre house is said to have been the residence of Sir Laurence Palk. Hesketh Crescent was described as "the finest crescent in the West of England". Spectacularly-sited, overlooking the sea. This is the grandest work in Torquay undertaken by the Harvey sons, whose father built Higher Terrace in 1811.
