Moving right onto the even numbered side of the road, Headrow House is visible in the distance, designed by R. Blomfield and built in the 1950s after road widening. Headrow House is now known as Direct Line House, it is situated at the junction of the Headrow and Albion Street. Continuing right is Carlton Chambers, now known as Cavendish House. There are shops at the bottom of this building with offices above. Next follows Schofield's Food Hall which has two storeys at the front moving back to several floors of offices. This is now Merton House with Argos on the first floor. On the right edge is Henry Walker (Bookseller) Ltd. This building was converted to an NCP carpark with O'Brien's Irish Sandwich Bar at the bottom.
