Cul-de-sac off Fulford Road built in the c.1930s, first shown on the 1940 25 inch map on the site of a house named Kilburn House. which was demolished c.1920. This had originally been called Fulford Lodge but was renamed in the 1870s by Alderman Joseph Agar, a leather merchant and three times Lord Mayor of York in the 1880s, who was born in Kilburn in North Yorkshire and who bought the house in 1875. However it seems that the developers of the area assumed it was Kilburn in north west London, and so named the streets they built after other such places - e.g. Maida (Vale).
