The name of the A259 between the Palace pier and Thistle Hotel it was opened in 1829 on new sea defences to provide a through route that previously necessitated going via Old Steine and East Street. Queens Hotel is the building on the right. The lights date from 1930. The extended pavement contains both a pavement and cycle lane which causes all sorts of problems when it is busy as the former spill onto the latter providing plenty of arguments and the occasional fisticuff.
