Union Street, Plymouth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Union Street in Plymouth, Devon, is a long street connecting the city centre to Devonport, Plymouth's naval base and docks. Frequented by sailors from all over the world, it once held a dubious distinction as one of the world's most infamous promenades and red-light districts, where during WWII almost down every ally you could see the ladies of the night at work.

It has noticable police presence late at night and early into the morning, to control drunk people when they are leaving clubs, and also to ensure no underage people are permitted entry to nightclubs.
