The lower half of Falmouth Road - known at first as St George’s Road - was laid out just before 1830 across land on lease to the Brandon Trustees.
In 1837, the road was continued through to Trinity Street. This part was called Brunswick Street from 1839 until 1868, when both sections were renamed Falmouth Road.
Ground on either side of the northern half of the road - which belonged to Trinity House - was let in plots sufficient for one or more houses, to local builders or speculators.
