Queen's Square was there in the 19th century: two-storey terraced houses. Charter Approach is more recent: late 20th or early 21st-century. It is on the site of an engineering works in the backland of West Street, glimpsed left. The works first appeared on an OS map of 1952 (a wartime development?) and had extended through to the back of St Laurence Avenue on a map of 1966-72. In the 19th century and up to World War II the site was a tannery and skin works. A brook still runs through here on its way to the Avon.
