But the area once labelled carnage by Jeremy Kyle is now shaking off the criticisms undergoing a subtle transformation.
Over the course of lockdown new independent cafes, restaurants and hairdressers have opened in the street with former empty sites renovated for residential use.
The most recent example is Piccolini, the new Italian cafe which will soon be offering al fresco dining in tables and chairs on the pavement.

At the end of a year when we are fighting a pandemic this book tells of a time when we were fighting for our freedom.
And it illustrates so well what life was like for the children of the Second World War at such a traumatic time in their young lives.
There was death and destruction all around. Men went away and all too often didn’t return.
Mothers were working hard, struggling to run a home on ration book, while bombs were dropping. Communities ripped apart.
