Cul-de-sac off Fulford Road started in the c.1920s (such as nearest house) and extended in the c.1930s (such as those beyond), as evidenced by the 1931 and 1940 25 inch maps respectively. The road was named after a house called Kilburn House which stood to the north of it 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.
