The 'Cornucopia' can be seen on the right and the junction with Seaway on the left. Hartington Road is situated in a grid of terraced streets built in the second half of the C19 between the railway and what is now the Golden Mile. A century later the area was split into two when Queensway, a mini-urban freeway, was cut through it. Until the early 1950s, trolleybus services 52 and 52A used to turn up Hartington Road from the sea front and then turn immediately left into Seaway on a route linking Thorpe Bay and the Kursaal with various points in the town.
