Road laid out in 1891. The semi-detached pair of houses in the right background of this photo is one of a group shown on the 1906 25 inch map (but marked as revised in 1894), suggesting these were the initial development. The nearer houses are not shown until the 1940 edition, suggesting a building date of the 1920s or 1930s.
