This street links the Beast Market with Holt Road and, in the early 20th century, was lined on both sides by low quality housing. At its western end stood the Victoria Inn, next to which was the Victoria Com Mill and, on the corner of the Beast Market, the Tiger Inn. Behind the houses on the opposite side of the street as Brown Horse Yard. Gradually, all the houses and buildings were demolished (the last being the Victoria Inn in 2000) so that street is now little more than an approach road to the large roundabout on Holt Road. The street was named after the village of Farndon in Cheshire, where the road heads out of town.
