Western Road runs between the Regency Square and Clifton Hill outstanding conservation areas, and the roads leading northwards from it are worth exploring. Regent Hill, Marlborough Street, Crown Street, Dean Street and Spring Street, the first five side streets from Dyke Road, all retain small, attractive artisan cottages of the 1820s, many with bowed facades or windows and balconies. Nos.18-20 Regent Hill have narrow bows and are listed buildings, while nos.14, 15, 19, 22 and 23 Crown Street are included on the borough council's local list of buildings of special interest.
