Housing in the mainly late 19th/early 20th Century development of "Sandridge New Town", an area of land between Sandpit Lane and Sandridge Road, originally outside the boundaries of St Albans and in the parish of Sandridge, prior to the extension of the municipal area in 1879, just south of where Boundary Road was laid out. Although most of this section of the road was built in the late 19th Century, being shown on the 1898 1:2,500 map, the building in the centre of this photo including the archway, is later, with the plot shown as undeveloped on that map. However development, both on the road and behind, is shown on the 1924 edition, with the 1963 1:1,250 map marking it as a builder's yard. The buildings behind were converted to housing in the early 2000, as The Mews.
