The street is notable for Broadway Parade (east) and Topsfield Parade (west) on either side of the street at the immediate southern end. Broadway Parade was built by the developer and architect John Cathles Hill. Topsfield Parade was built on the estate of Henry Weston Elder by James Edmondson of Highbury and replaced Topsfield Hall, a Georgian mansion that was sold in 1892. Edmonsons later built identical shopping parades in Muswell Hill. [1]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Listed buildings in Eastbourne</span>

There are more than 130 listed buildings in the town and borough of Eastbourne, a seaside resort on the coast of East Sussex in England. Eastbourne, whose estimated population in 2011 was 99,400, grew from a collection of farming hamlets into a fashionable holiday destination in the mid-19th century; close attention was paid to urban planning and architecture, and the main landowners the Dukes of Devonshire placed restrictions on the types and locations of development. As a result, much of the resort retains its "basic motif" of late Regency and early Victorian houses, hotels and similar buildings, and also has an extensive stock of 19th-century churches. Coastal fortifications have been strategically important for centuries, and structures such as Martello towers and fortresses have survived to be granted listed status. A few older buildings—priories, manor houses and the ancient parish church—are also spread throughout the borough, whose boundaries take in the dramatic cliffs at Beachy Head and its two listed lighthouses.
