A side street linking North Road to Gloucester Road and named after the former foundry that once lay beyond the buildings on the left that was originally built on open fields and eventually got engulfed by the northern expansion of Brighton in the 1840s. The foundry produced many works which still stand today including the original railings along much of the sea front. It was closed in the 1920s, demolished and replaced by a new Royal Mail sorting office which still stands today.
