Grade II listed buildings in Southampton: P–R

In total there are 317 listed buildings in the city of Southampton, of which 14 are Grade I, 20 are Grade II* and the remainder Grade II.[1]

In England, a building or structure is defined as "listed" when it is placed on a statutory register of buildings of "special architectural or historic interest" by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, a Government department, in accordance with the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.[2] English Heritage, a non-departmental public body, acts as an agency of this department to administer the process and advise the department on relevant issues.[3] There are three grades of listing status. The Grade II designation is the lowest, and is used for "nationally important buildings of special interest".[4] Grade II* is used for "particularly important buildings of more than special interest", while Grade I (defined as being of "exceptional interest" and greater than national importance), is the highest of the three grades.[4]

This list summarises 39 Grade II-listed buildings and structures whose names begin with P to R. Numbered buildings with no individual name are listed by the name of the street on which they stand.

This seven-foot high statue of Lord Palmerston, who was M.P. for South Hampshire and Prime Minister, was erected by public subscription and unveiled by the Earl of Carnarvon on 2 June 1869, four years after Palmerston's death.[5] The sculptor, Thomas Sharpe, had to sue the committee to obtain settlement of his fee of £800.[6] The statue is made of white marble and features Palmerston robed in a Roman-style toga standing on a square granite plinth on which is the inscription: "Palmerston K.G. G.C.B. Born 1784. Died 1865. A burgess of Southampton. Erected by Public Subscription. Frederick Perkins Mayor A.D. 1869".

Close to the corner of New Road, opposite Palmerston Park, this is part of a group of five Regency-style houses. From 1825 to 1890, the four houses in Palmerston Road were known as Washington Place, and then became Portland Place, before taking their present name in 1901.[7] Originally numbered 1 & 2, this pair of two-storeyed houses are much lower than their neighbours and are immediately adjacent to the eastern entrance to the railway tunnel. Although they appear to have been one symmetrical house, they were originally built as two properties. The main part of the building has a central doorway and two curved full height brick bow windows; the second doorway is in a linking wing on the north. The doorways are virtually identical and have projecting entablatures supported by detached Doric columns.[7]
