The northern half of this terrace on 1885 maps is addressed as Brougham Hayes Buildings, whilst the upper half towards Victoria Road was Twerton Hayes Buildings. Brougham Hayes Terrace lay behind on Lorne Road. The Midland Brewery and Newbridge Inn were located at the northern end of the road, at the junction with the Lower Bristol Rd whilst opposite was the Rifle Volunteers Drill Ground. The current entrance to Lorne Rd was not created until the 1970s, as part of the Lower Bristol Rd widening scheme.
