This is part of the Queen's Park estate, developed in the 1870s/80s by the Artizans', Labourers' and General Dwellings Company, with tree-lined roads and an area set aside for recreation. Gardening was encouraged and there was to be provision for an institute, cooperative stores, coal depot, dairy farm, baths, and reading rooms, but no public house. Avenues numbered from 1 to 6 were laid out leading north from Harrow Road and south to the canal, and connected by long cross streets. (Information from British History Online.)
