The road is typical of the older ones in South Wigston, which only started to develop as a place of any size in the 1880's. This was mainly due to the activities of Orson Wright, who saw the potential of the area for industry and housing. Since then a lot, but not all, of the industry has gone, and like most places there have been many changes.
