Small side street linking North Road to Gloucester Road. To the left are the old buildings of the Southern Publishing Company who moved into the street in 1926 and eventually became the main printing presses for the local rag, the Evening Argus. The premises eventually expanded to include near enough all of the western side of the street. The paper moved out to new larger offices on Hollingbury Industrial Estate around the year 2000 and the building became derelict and partially gutted by a fire in 2002. After that the southern end was turned into offices with shops facing out onto North Road whilst the older facade now houses the Argus Lofts, a new set of residential flats. The large building on the right in the distance is a former furniture repository which has also been converted into flats.
