A cul de sac off Tillstone Street though originally it ran from Edward Street to the south. The street was developed in the 1810s was filled with small cottages on the eastern side and at the far end were Pilgrims Cottages, almshouses for the over 60s in need. They were all demolished in the late 1950s leaving the street empty and used for access for the number 35 Egremont Place. The wall on the left contains back doors for properties on the same street. See http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume24/source/jg_24_045.html for a view taken in 1954 and http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume24/source/jg_24_047.html for a 1968 view when the street was largely demolished
