This pedestrianised street of Georgian shops,offices, pubs and 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 does not receive a great deal of sunlight. Also, it would be improved in ambience by the prevention of the lazy practice of leaving the metal shutter grids propped up in the street during business hours!
