The house at the end of the street, number 5 is an imposing building with a fine Palladian window over the front door. On the right, the Marquess of Granby pub. The mid-18th century Marquess had a reputation as a fine soldier in the Seven Years War and was well like by his soldiers. The large number of pubs named after him is believed to stem from the fact that he set up many of his disabled NCOs as publicans.
