The remaining gaps in the rows of terraced houses in the Leafield Road area were filled. Clifton Road and Park Lane were extended southwards, with new-style semi-detached houses.

Park Lane follows the line of an ancient footpath and is so named because the land along which it skirts was formerly known as the High Parks. Its name and its proximity to the park is entirely coincidental. Similarly, Park Place and Park Street had been built in the 1830’s on
land known as the Low Parkslxix. Unlike these, the road which eventually became known as Parkside was developed and named long after the park was established, was named in accordance with its location adjacent to the park.
