This alleyway was closed and abandoned some years ago on the grounds that it had encouraged criminality and anti-social behaviour. Since closure it has filled up with litter and a buddleia tree has taken over this entrance on Roslyn Road. Just behind the tree inside the alleyway there remains a modern lamppost that no longer works.
