Originally named Middle Soldiers Row, it was renamed by Governor Macquarie in 1810 after the Duke of Clarence.[1] [2] [3] The section between Bathurst Street and Sydney Town Hall was named St Andrews Place in 1914, this section has since disappeared.[4]
Clarence Street runs south–north from Druitt Street to Jamison Street feeding traffic onto the Harbour Bridge.
A bus lane opened between Barrack Street and the Harbour Bridge in November 1989.[5]
Notable buildings include the Grace Building, Clarence Street Police Station, Red Cross House and St Philip's Church.
