History The area was largely a semi-rural area until the 1770s, when a number of townhouses were built for the landed gentry. The street was part of Gardiner Row until 1792.

It consists of opposing terraces of 4-storey over basement red-brick Georgian townhouses descending on an increasingly steep gradient from Belvedere House which bookends the street from a perpendicular aspect to the North. All of the original houses on the street as well as several other features are listed on the Record of Protected Structures.
