RUSSELL STREET AREA – BLUCHER PLACE

As their names indicate, these two streets were built shortly after the Battle of waterloo, about 1820. Being close to the beach, they were the homes of generations of fishermen, two of which are seen at work in Wellington Place. In 1938, the whole of Wellington Place and almost all of Blucher Place was demolished to make an open space for a Car Park. A few houses at the Russell Street end of Blucher Place are still in existence.
