On it's eastern side there is a fine row of Victorian houses, leading inland to Cheapside from the Grand Hotel. On the opposite side is the Triangle Park, which is now home to the statue of Queen Victoria which used to stand in gardens at the Weighbridge.
The stretch of road from where the people are standing in the photograph immediately below to the sea front at West Park, was originall all part of Cheapside, but was renamed as a tribute to Major Peirson. The triangular traffic island behind the ornamental street lamp now contains three boules pitches.
