Narcissus Road connects Pandora Road with Mill Lane.
On the west side of West End Lane, the land between the three railway lines was still largely untouched but beyond them building spread during the 1880s. New roads were constructed and 346 houses were built between 1882 and 1894 in Sumatra Road, Solent Road, Holmdale Road, Glenbrook Road, Pandora Road, and Narcissus Road, mostly by J.I. Chapman of Solent Road, G. W. Cossens of Mill Lane, Jabez Reynolds of Holmdale Road and James Gibb of Dennington Park Road.
Narcissus Road is the name for the debut album by English Indie rock band The Hours, named after the street with a picture of the road sign on the back cover.
The Underground Map project is creating street histories for the areas of London and surrounding counties lying within the M25.
The aim of the project is to find the location every street in London, whether past or present, and tell its story. This project aims to be a service to historians, genealogists and those with an interest in urban design.
The website features a series of maps from the 1750s until the 1950s. You can see how London grows over the decades. |
