Wellington Lane (Fig. 100)

Although apparently an early right of way, this narrow passageway derives its present name from an early 19th-century public house, the Wellington Tavern (Mercury, 21 Dec. 1827). The few buildings in the lane are encroachments on the gardens of adjoining houses.

(448) Terrace, Nos. 4, 5, 7, three storeys and cellars, red brick, hipped and gabled roof, is early 19th-century. Two dwellings are uniform, the third extends at the rear; each has a class 15 plan with a staircase against the back wall. The windows have sliding sashes and cambered rubbed brick arches.
