About Wave Crest
The National Inventory rates Wave Crest Regional, one of 318 in Bray. Wave Crest dates from 1850–1870. 107 other places on the record stand within 400 m.
Although it was much altered in the later 20th century, this remains a good example of a conversion of a house to commercial use. It is well preserved and in good condition and its character and detailing add much to the rhythm of this mainly Victorian promenade.

When was Wave Crest built?

Is Wave Crest protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
