Turn of the 19th/20th Century terraced housing on a road built on the line of a former footpath. Originally a cul-de-sac called Longmire Road, the current name first appeared on the 1972 1:1,250 map, when the road was extended westwards to meet Cottonmill Lane. These houses back onto former watercress beds alongside the River Ver. Note the ornate stone headers to the windows, unique on St Albans.
