The road was originally laid out in the 1800s but was anything but pleasant as the area north of Edward Street and west of egremont Place soon became a slum area. The eastern side was cleared and rebuilt in the 1930s but the western side had to wait until the 1960s. St John's Mount is the block of flats on the left.
