The remainder of the Polam Hill site was used for a new road (now called Parkside but then known as Geneva Road), which was constructed along the south edge of the park, running east west and linking Grange Road with Neasham Road. Its construction included a bridge
over the Skernelxxiv, with wall and piers constructed of sand-faced hand-made brickslxxv. Some new houses were built, mainly on the south side of the road. The park (excluding the new boating area) was now enclosed on three sides by residential housing.
