A narrow residential street that runs between Marine Parade and St james's Street and was constructed in the late 1770s. On the western side to the left is a former pub, the Three and Ten which was previously known as the Queen's Head whose pub sign displayed a portait of Freddie Mercury for a brief period in the 1990s. The houses on the right, the eastern side, were built in 1986 on the site of a former Southdown bus depot which had occupied the spot from 1916. To negotitae the narrow streets the buses would enter via Manchester Street and leave the depot in Steine Street. Southdown transferred most of its operations to an expanded site in Freshfield Road in the 1960s with this site just used for coaches until its closure.
