The terrace of cottages on the right of the picture date from 1880 by the Marquis of Exeter, as 'Artisan dwellings'. The land behind them was for many years the workyard of Lindum Construction, who in 2001 sought to demolish the whole site, including the terrace and the adjacent bus station for redevelopment. The resultant local outcry led to the original buildings being retained and the site developed with complimentary buildings. The terrace on the left is Mock Victorian inspired by the original.
