Parkgate Road from its junction with Howard Road. Mapping suggests that the nearest house dates from the 1860s/1870s, although the rest of this section of the road remained undeveloped until after the Second World War, when the houses beyond were built. When first developed, the road was called Reigate Park Road, although mapping shows it to have received its present name by 1895.
