The large detached houses of Priory Road, Abbey Road and College Road were built in Victorian times when Malvern was expanding from a small village into a busy Water Cure town. Much of the land was under the control of Lady Foley who, when she eventually gave in to the pressure of the developers, laid down a raft of planning requirements including : each property to be in no less than one acre; no house to overlook another; no houses to look alike.
