I don't know what is wrong with this plot, that it has remained undeveloped and derelict. The 1824 and 1850 maps suggest that there were buildings on the lower end of it, and the 1893 map shows several small cottages that were still shown on the 1963 map but not on the 1978 edition and were probably demolished as part of slum clearance.
