This is a new road into a development site on the A289 Pier Road. The building on the right is Liberty Quays, a student accommodation block for the nearby University of Kent, Medway Campus. The road will lead into the rest of the development site of Berkeley Homes. It also leads to a small carpark for a new Tesco's Metro store. The name of the road is because The HMS Pegasus was a 28 gun frigate launched in 1786, commanded for its first two years of service by Prince William Henry, who later went on to become King William IV. The Pegasus was largely assigned to patrol the east coast of Canada as well as the West Indies.
