That is to say, "King Street" North of Prince of Wales' Road.
It must be remembered that the earlier, pre-railway, definition was -

The pubs are listed going South from Tombland.
However, the final two entries have uncertain locations; and may
even fall into Area 7 (between Prince of Wales' Road and Rose Lane).
