The residential areas built on farmland to the north east of Bourne as part of the housing boom following the Second World War were planted with ornamental trees along the verges such as this flowering cherry in Queen's Road which was under construction in 1953, the year that Queen Elizabeth II was crowned and so the name reflected this national celebration.
