Looking past the 'Fisherman's Arms', in the direction of the 'Gloucester' (pub; now demolished and replaced by Tesco, which gave its name to a five way road junction). Windmill Road was named after the windmill, which stood near the Broad Green end of the road. Windmill Road was an ancient drove road; one of three which crossed Croydon Common. All three are now 'A' roads, and housing was built from c1870 onwards.
