The houses are in Bank Top, a model village built circa 1835 by cotton mill owners the Ashworth family., to house their workers. It is likely that the street is named after Hugh Lupus Grosvenor, 1st. Duke of Westminster, with whom the Ashworths had some business dealings. The houses are Grade 2 listed.
