A narrow back street that runs from Air Street to Church Street that was originally developed in the 1800s though nothing remains from that period. Whatever was on the eastern side was swept away in 1845 when Queen's Road was built. The eastern side survived a little longer containing three storied cottages and the Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital. The latter had been built in 1897 on the site of an old brewery and continued in operation until 1986 when services were transferred to the Royal Sussex. The building was demolished in 1988 and replaced by a block of flats, St Nicolas Lodge. The cottages were demolished in 1966 but not replaced for a considerable time though now occupied by a small terrace. See http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume31/source/jg_31_105.html for a 1956 view.
