Although most of this section of the road was built in the late 19th Century, being shown on the 1898 1:2,500 map, the building in the centre of this photo including the archway, is later, with the plot shown as undeveloped on that map. However development, both on the road and behind, is shown on the 1924 edition, with the 1963 1:1,250 map marking it as a builder's yard. The buildings behind were converted to housing in the early 2000, as The Mews.

The area was absorbed into St Albans when the city boundaries were extended in 1879, but when developed was still known as Sandridge New Town. All the cottages are locally listed.
