The north side. This little lane consists of completely symmetrical terraced cottages built by the Ansons to house people evicted from the former Shugborough village, the site of which is now occupied by the Arch of Hadrian in Shugborough Park to celebrate Admiral George Anson's circumnavigation of the globe, 1740-1744. An estimate for the construction of that Arch, from builder John Hooper, is dated November 1761, so one presumes these cottages were built in the late 1750s. See Image
