DescriptionGospel Oak, Elaine Grove, NW5 - geograph.org.uk - 1716535.jpg
English: Gospel Oak: Elaine Grove, NW5 This road contains one of the surviving sections of mid-Victorian houses on the once much larger Lismore Circus estate. Curiously the 1874 edition of the Ordnance Survey mapping clearly describes the road as Arthur Grove. By the time that the 1896 edition was published it had acquired its present day name. One wonders what was wrong with Arthur.
Post script. In 1876 the Metropolitan Board of Works decreed the change, noting that the irregularly numbered houses should be renumbered, so maybe it was an attempt to tidy up the street entirely.
