The street was developed along the line of a lane in the 19th century, to give access to a new Butter Market on its N side. In the early 1920's, the Paris Observatory, using the Eiffel Tower, transmitted a series of radio signals at fixed times each day to act as time checks. Wallace Allen, the jewellers, built a model of the Tower to which was attached a ball, arranged to fall with one of these signals, as shown in OLD AYR, p56.
