Viewed from Ashton Rise, Morley Street was originally the lower western end of Sussex Street that was developed from the 1800s onwards and subsequently became a high density slum area much of which was removed in the mid 1930s and replaced with a couple of clinics on the northern side to the right, one of which was hit by a bomb during the Second World War. On the southern side to the left a new Municipal Market was opened in Circus Street in 1937 but closed a few years ago and is now awaiting development. The graffiti artists have been out in force on the roof with Aroe and Solveig visible, two well known local artists who happen to be father and daughter. Victoria Gardens can be seen beyond the road junction.
