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.

G.C.B. Born 1784. Died 1865. A burgess of Southampton. Erected by Public Subscription. Frederick Perkins Mayor A.D. 1869".	[1]	[2]

Although they appear to have been one symmetrical house, they were originally built as two properties.
