The west end of the former Victorian shopping parade on Elvaston Road Image, now mostly converted to residential use, but some of the shop fronts have been retained. One of the shops has an oriel window topped by a turret with a spire. It was built as an observatory. The corner building, the former Lloyds Bank, was probably built as a house in the C19th century, was converted into a bank after 1912. It was disused by 1992 and was converted to a medical Centre. http://www.pastscape.org.uk/hob.aspx?hob_id=1345785
