ESSEX COTTAGES

Tucked away between Warwick Street and Essex Street, with an entrance from Upper Bedford Street, were these 10 tiny cottages built during 1830s. they faced north and got very little sunshine because at the rear was the malthouse, later the Rock Brewery Stores. At the western end All Souls School. The cottages were last occupied in 1929, but the present buildings bear some resemblance to the cottage facades, so perhaps they were gutted internally and put to business use. Year of photographs 1914. Looking west from upper Bedford Street to All Souls School showing the back walls, and the dustbins of Essex Street.
