A cul de sac off Tillstone Street though originally it ran from Edward Street to the south. The street was developed in the 1810s was filled with small cottages on the eastern side and at the far end were Pilgrims Cottages, almshouses for the over 60s in need. They were all demolished in the late 1950s leaving the street empty and used for access for the number 35 Egremont Place. The wall on the left contains back doors for properties on the same street. See http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume24/source/jg_24_045.html for a view taken in 1954 and http://regencysociety-jamesgray.com/volume24/source/jg_24_047.html for a 1968 view when the street was largely demolished

Head south back down West Drive then east down Park Hill then south into Tillstone Street. Another result of a slum clearance this street was erected in 1898 on the site of Spa and Egremont Streets. The newer houses to the right were added in the 1960s when Pilgrim Cottages, a row of almshouses constructed in 1852 in Spa Street, were finally demolished having survived the original clearance.

A residential road that heads north from the junction with Edward Street and Eastern Road before continuing in an arc to the west as Queen's Park Road. The road was built in the 1810s and named after Egremont House that was located on the eastern side of Upper Rock Gardens until its demolition in the 1880s.

The road was originally laid out in the 1800s but was anything but pleasant as the area north of Edward Street and west of egremont Place soon became a slum area. The eastern side was cleared and rebuilt in the 1930s but the western side had to wait until the 1960s. St John's Mount is the block of flats on the left.

A residential road running between Eastern Road and Park Hill that was developed in 1898 to replace the former slums in Spa Street and Egremont Street.

Dated 1890. Viewed from the south.

Head east along Carlton Hill then north up Upper Park Place then east along the remainder of Queens Park Road until the junction with Egremont Place. This is one of two gates constructed as entrances to Queens Park. The other is in the next grid square a few hundred metres to the east. Designed by Charles Barry (St Peters Church and Houses of Parliament) in 1829 and rebuilt in 1890 after the park became public.
