The street is presumably named after one or both of the Provosts Risk: Image The direction of view is towards the High Street. The spire on the left is that of the Bell Centre (a Image). The flats on the right are by Garner, Preston and Strebel, and date from 1965-70; see Image and Image for some of those buildings.
