Place Name
This is certainly one of London’s most curious street names and for good reason. It is not one name but in fact a combination of three, for it comes from the names of the early 20thCentury developer’s three children, Ethel, Ronald and Violet.
The roads from Ethronvi Road are also said to be made from the children’s names – Veroan Road was Vera and Joan and Dorcis Avenue also but I don’t know for sure, which names it derives from.
Hello, thank you so much for that, that is really useful. We spent a lot of time trying to find out the name of the builder so that we could expand on the information. Alas with lockdown it will have to wait. Kind regards
