A side street that links Trafalgar Street to Gloucester Road taken at dusk. The western side was built in the 1820s whilst the eastern side was completed a decade later. The differing nature of both sides is down to building practices at the time whereby a developer would buy up plots build one or two houses then sell the plots on to others to build their own houses the result is a mix of imposing three story town houses which dwarf the smaller cottages which can often found either side of it. In stark contrast the eastern side was built as one long terrace which gives that side greater uniformity.
