Terrace of early 20th Century shops/houses, first shown on the 1912 25 inch map. When first laid out (the road here is marked on the 1879 6 inch map, but with development on the west side only), this was named Station Road, since it led to Portslade Station. However that side was in Portslade, with the eastern side (here) being in Hove. Since Hove Station was further east, having the road named Station Road was considered confusing and so the Hove side was renamed Boundary Road. As a result, we now have a road with different names according to the side of the road.
