There was little left of this busy street, when these photographs were taken during 1962 and 1963. As recently as 1934 it consisted of 50 small dwellings, mostly built between 1800 and 1820. Clearance of some buildings on the east side started in 1935 and by 1947 only two remained. On the west side demolition was slower and a few houses are still there. When these go it is the intention to straighten the street and get rid of the slight bend.
The name derives from Springs Walks, the original name of Church Street.
