Originally a residential street in its own right that ran from Albion Hill to Richmond Street that was developed on the western side in the late 1850s. On the eastern side was a number of chalk pits and lime kilns which remained until the 1890s when the terrace in view was built. Numbers 1-7 on the western side were destroyed by a bomb during the Second World War and the rest were removed in the slum clearances of the early 1960s. The eastern survived also suffered with misfortune with numbers 15-16 collapsing due to a burst water main in the late 1930s and numbers 17-18 found to be unstable and demolished soon after. Numbers 19-20 were removed as slum clearances in the mid 1960s, however 21-40 survive.
