Road between Roman Road and Queen Alexandra Road. The road was first marked on the 1925 25 inch map, including some of the houses seen here. With neighbouring roads on that map of a King Edward Road (not actually developed, the line now being just a nameless track), Queen Alexandra Road and Empire Road, it would seem that the coronation the road name refers to was that of Edward VII in 1902; the 1925 map was the first survey after that date so there is none earlier to confirm or contradict this suggestion.
