Monument MPM1822 - Paving Penny Street, Peacock Lane and St Nicholas Street

Section of historic paving which survives along the north eastern side of Penny Street (north of Junction with Peackock Lane), north side of Peacock Lane (between Penny Street and St Nicholas Street) and north western side of St Nicholas Street (north of junction with Peackock Lane). The paving probably dates to between 1764 and 1774 when contracts were first issued for the paving of Portsea (then Portsmouth Common) and Portsmouth. The contracts state that materials used to pave the areas included square pitchers and planters, Purbeck stone for kerbs and steps, and brick gutters. Horse ways and carriage ways were to be paved with new Guernsey Pebbles.
