Hertford Street & Warwick Lane. Camera No. 21

Although the same basic layout still exists looking up from Warwick Road towards Hertford Street and Warwick Lane, the view today looks much more cluttered compared with the clear lines of the same roads back in 1905. Much of Hertford Street survived the war but in post-war "development", the buildings at this bottom end of the street were demolished to create the Bull Yard.
Built in 1812/13, Hertford Street was an early form of "bypass" allegedly built after the Prince Regent complained in 1807 of difficulty using Warwick Lane and Greyfriars Lane as the main route into the city.
