The Royal Albion – at the left hand end of the row - was one of the first hotels built to cater for the booming resort business in the early 19th century. (Its website dates it to 1776, although the Historic England listing describes it as 'early 19th century'.) It faces both onto Albion Street and onto Viking Bay, and is still a functioning hotel. Listed Grade II. The remaining buildings to the right are of similar date and are all also Listed Grade II. Built as houses but now largely occupied by retail businesses.
