The image shows a fine example of the typical Victorian and Edwardian terraces that are a feature of the grid square, in this case benefiting from a recent sprucing-up by the Local Authority. This street and the neighbouring Kimberley Street were built shortly after the conclusion of the Boer war, and the street would have been named after the 'Relief of Ladysmith' in 1900 (which preceded by a few months the much more famous 'Relief of Mafeking').
