One of the original roads laid out by the Cavendish Land Company in the first decade of the 20th century. Viewed from its junction with Fairlight Avenue the road heads west then turns a right angle to head north to Grassmere Avenue. This shape was dictated by the then ownership of land by the building company who were unable to acquire a large neighbouring field called Portobello Furlong as it was owned by the coastguard.
