The eastern extent of the new New England Quarter development. Until the 1960s this road was actually Fleet Street with New England Street being limited to the northern section between New England Road and York Hill. When the area was redeveloped in the 1960s and the old railway workers houses demolished and replaced with faceless concrete blocks and car parks the whole stretch was renamed New England Street replacing New York Street and Fleet Street the former middle and southern sections respectively. However, the latter has been reprieved and given to the new section to the west which loops around the development. Consequently, the former busy New England Street has seen itself broken into two distinct parts and this section into a quiet back street.
