An area along Western Bank containing University buildings, including the modern Department of Psychology building. Prior to this, the area consisted of large villas dating from the mid 19th century. Some of these properties have been reused by the University. The Fairbanks plan of 1808 shows the plot apparently being utilised as allotments or gardens. Before this the area is depicted as fields with the characteristics of piecemeal enclosure. Legibility is partial as some of the villas have been reused and new buildings dominate.
