A north/south road running into Alfred Square and then Middle Street, seen in the far distance. In fact the 1872 1:2500 map names it as Middle Street too, it not being until the 1898 map that it is shown with its current name. The nearest cottages have a name plaque, Tustins Cottages - their appearance suggest Edwardian, although they do not appear on the 1906-7 1:2500 map. The blocks beyond are much older, appearing on the 1873 1:500 town plan as Alexandra Cottages.
