A narrow street of what Pevsner in 1965 described as "real, entirely unselfconscious cottages", laid out in the late 18th century expansion of the town eastward from the Old Steine. Most of the premises are of two storeys plus basement and attic with dormer windows, but the central house in this view (no 17) has three full storeys complete with window bay. It was once the residence of the Prince Regent's bandmaster but after many years as a family home it has now found a new lease of life as a venue for Hen Parties.
