Image: © Roger D Kidd Taken: 31 Mar 2009
This pedestrianised street of Georgian shops, offices, pubs, cafés and other businesses was mainly built in the years 1751-1753. It was becoming derelict, but one side was saved and restored in the 1980s, and many of the buildings are now Grade II listed. The street receives little direct sunlight, so can appear gloomy at times, but is well worth a look.
