Several of the residential streets on the western edge of Fortune Green are named after classical heroes: as well as Agamemnon there are Ajax, Achilles and Ulysses roads. These terraced houses were aimed at "lower middle class" when they were built between 1886 and 1896. The proximity of the green was an attraction which outweighed the blight created by the presence of the cemetery close by.
