This side-road, leading off Commercial Road, is inauspicious enough; it takes in the large car-park and Weymouth's main Post Office depot. However, on the wall is a small and somewhat inconspicuous memorial plaque. The dedication remembers Robyn Danielle Nixon, who (having suffered bullying and a bad relationship with her boyfriend) jumped from the top of the multi-storey car-park to her death in 2010. She was 15 years old.
