Engadine Street is named after an estate in Sydney, Australia which was itself named after the Engadin Valley in Switzerland.
By late 1903, the Southfields Grid was practically complete down to a line that included Lavenham Road. Only a few gaps remained to be filled during the next two years, the largest being a space on the western side of the middle section of Engadine Street.
Just afterwards, the remaining area down to the borough boundary was covered by the longer, southernmost blocks and these have a very different feel to them. They are altogether more regular, and each of their lengthy terraces was generally built along a more uniform pattern.
