Ashland Place leads southwards from Paddington Street along the east side of an old burial ground, now known as Paddington Street Gardens. Old Victorian Ordnance Survey maps show that the burial ground was already disused by 1869, that the thoroughfare was then known as Burying Ground Passage, and that the change of road name to Ashland Place occurred some time before 1895.
