The borough council cleared 9,000 square yards of land and displaced around 600 people. This was the only slum clearance before the First World War.
There was already the beginnings of a route in one very old narrow street, but all signs of Hercules Street were to disappear, along with its 40 fleshers and their killing yards.

The Shakespeare Hotel in 1892 had rooms named after the Bard's plays. It cost 4s 6d a night to stay here, with dinner costing between 4-5s. The Red Horse and the Golden Lion were slightly cheaper.
The garden was planted out with trees and flowers men- tioned in the Bard's works.
It had undergone a number of incarnations since the Bard's day, but the timber framework, the floors and some of the internal walls are as they were in the 16th century.
