The road originally ran from Upper St James's Street to Eastern Road but since the 1960s now ends at the junction with Hereford Street. Originally developed in the 1810s the area soon became a notorious slum and began to be cleared in the late 1920s but was not completed until the 1960s. The former high density terraced housing was replaced with flats and five high rises, two of which, Wiltshire House and Hereford Court, are in view.
