The 1880s cottages on the right are in Mill Place. Eugenie Mews is the name given to the two groups of modern buildings. Those on the left are built on the site of Christ Church School, built in 1889 but closed in 1907 and used for industrial purposes until demolition in 1998, while those beyond are on the site of St John's Church, a chapel of ease of St Nicholas' Church built in 1886 and in use until 1933, after which it too was used for industrial purposes until demolition, also in 1998. The name Eugenie Mews commemorates the Empress Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III, who lived at Camden Place following the Emperor's exile from France in 1871.
