Sussex Street links the junction of King Street and Hobson Street (behind the photographer) with the front of Sidney Sussex College on Sidney Street (2 minutes ahead). On Richard Lyne’s (1574) map of the town this street follows the route of a lane into the city centre referred to as Walls Lane and on that map King Street and Walls Lane are shown as one.The street was redesigned in the 1920s and 1930s in neo-Georgian style and was described by the architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner as the "best piece of pre-war urban planning at Cambridge." However, the buildings seen here now were planned as a ‘mixed-use development’ for Sidney Sussex College and built during 1928–39. A wall plaque declares that the street was pedestrianised by Sidney Sussex College in 1992 courtesy of the college and the city council.
