HISTORY: The road lies along the route of the old footpath connecting Bath and Bathwick. Originally this area was earmarked for a major development called Frances Square (marked on Chantry¿s plan of 1793, and on Donne¿s plan of 1810). After a substantial delay this suburban development, greatly reduced in density, was proceeded with in a characteristic Late Georgian manner. The villas are shown on Cotterell¿s 1851 plan of Bath, and are recorded as being "newly erected" in the Bath Guide for 1853
