A slightly odd name, as the road is almost straight. Viewed here from Dame Alice Street. Several of the buildings in The Crescent bear blue plaques. The plaque on the nearest building on the left reads: Fanny Elizabeth Eagles (1836 - 1907) 'Sister Fanny', Church of England Deaconess. Community worker and founder of St Ethelreda's Children's Home here (1881 - 1984).
