| Former name(s) | Marine Parade |
| Named After | Admiral Sturdee |
This stretch of road linking the 'Old Town' to the 'New Town' - Marine Parade and George Street at one end and Denmark Place and Castle Street at the other and formerly known as Marine Parade was, until the early 1800s a rough track with the tide regularly washing over it and Cliffs towering up over 100ft with just one building in the vicinity[1].
That building was the Bathing House, built in the 1700s and demolished when Pelham Crescent was constructed. Pelham Crescent and its two adjoining terraces in Breeds Place and Pelham Place were built between 1824 and 1828, starting with the terrace known as Pelham Place in 1824 (demolished in 1899) followed by Pelham Crescent itself and finally the terrace in Breeds Place ( demolished in the late 1960s) In 1759 a terrace of Coastguard Cottages were built at the end of George Street adjacent to Pelham Place, these were rebuilt in 1900[1] and the part of Pelham Place nearest George Street was renamed Sturdee Place in 1927 in honour of Doveton Sturdee who had died two years earlier.[2]
