Kinnerton Street - a small winding street - was originally the service road for Wilton Place and Wilton Crescent.

This long street contains two and three storey painted and rendered brickwork buildings.

It contains 127 properties, nowadays used for both residential and commercial purposes. However in 1854 it was much more diverse and the following occupations were listed: cow-keeper, grocer, plumber, saddler, tailor, wheelwright and two sellers of asses’ milk (thought to be beneficial to health).

During the Second World War, a bomb is recorded as falling directly onto nearby Ann’s Close. This destroyed properties specialising in equestrian usage.
