King Street (1905-10) was the first council housing scheme in Alnwick. Built to rehouse tenants of housing at the foot of Clayport that had been condemned as unfit. The development also helped to connect the Station and Clayport along Prudhoe Street and Lisburn Street.

Conzen: built on the south-west side of the town by the Local Authority as a housing scheme under the new Housing Act of 1890 and formed the King Street area. This is a layout of bye-law type, with tunnel-back flats without front- gardens at a gross density of 19.2 and a building coverage of 81. It occupied the crofts of the yards immediately to the north which fronted Clayport Street and became subject to slum clearance later
