The redevelopment of Gun Street as Boyfield Street by the LCC looks interesting. There are grade II listed purpose-built three-storey tenements with balconies on both sides of the street. They are shown on the 1910 Valuation Survey map but unfortunately there is no information about the interiors. Some of them at least (Clandon Building) are Grade II listed. Well worth a quick look on streetview.
