Originally the course of Great East Street, the principle route out of the old town until blocked by the Prince Regent in the early 1800s to preserve his privacy in the Royal Pavilion. A lodge was built but demolished in the early 1850s to make way for the current small street at the end of which is the South Gate, erected in 1920. In the bottom left hand corner are two volunteers working for the Rugby World Cup directing spectators to either the match or to the fanzone on the beach.
