Street running from Main Street to Southwell Road. Laid out around 1833 it was formerly known as 'Souter's Row' ('souter' means shoemaker - see Image) and, around 1880, as West Street. The current name seems to have been in existence since around 1910, probably a result of King Edward VII visiting Bangor. It is now a mix of residential dwellings, shops, a cafe, public house, bookmakers, take-away and restaurant.
