The main side street that links Trafalgar Street to Cheapside. With the exception of the building to the right the rest was demolished during large scale slum clearances in the 1960s. See http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume25/source/jg_25_238.html for a view taken from the opposite end of the street in 1959. Pelham Tower is the tall building on the right.
