Historic Jersey buildings
 19 and 20 Charing Cross. When the properties were redeveloped in the late 20th century as an extension of the adjoining Co-op building, No 19, on the left, was left as open space. It was built on again in the 21st century as part of a major development of the Co-op properties, and is now part of the Premier Inn.
