[3] Like much of the surrounding area, it had a considerable Jewish population by the late Victorian era[4] which was served by the Synagogue in neighbouring Lauderdale Road from 1896.

The Greek poet Andreas Kalvos lived in the street in the nineteenth century and is now commemorated by a blue plaque.
