Late 19th/early 20th Century residential road between Larkhall Rise and Wandsworth Road. The 1874 1:1056 map shows a number of houses on both Larkhall Rise and Wandsworth Road, with large gardens and an orchard in between and the 1895 edition shows the orchard to have been replaced Larkhall Tennis Ground. However the 1916 25 inch map shows all to have been replaced by Killyon Road. In the background are the chimneys of the former Battersea Power Station, now being redeveloped for housing.
