Originally running between Upper Gloucester Road and Church Street and developed at various times between 1820 and 1840. The southern end was removed in the mid 1960s to accommodate St Paul's primary School who had to give up their previous premises to the Churchill Square development. Once a much narrower street many of the old cottages were removed in the 1930s with area beyond the yellow wall on the left filled with prefabs from 1947-67 and since replaced with garages. There are now only six dwellings on the street to the immediate left, the houses on the right are actually the rear of premises on North Gardens. In the distance is the roof of Brighton Station.
