The steps between Richmond Road and Roundhill Crescent have been known by this name since at least 1917. It was originally laid out as a street, called Lennox Road on the 1875 OS map, but was found to be too steep for a horse and cart to negotiate and was not developed. It had been reduced to a footpath by the early 20th century containing 166 steps and access to open tracts of land on the eastern slope of Round Hill.
