PLACE NAME
Most likely named after James and Rosina Chisholm, the last residents of Addiscombe Lodge, which was one of the properties on the Brickwood estate. Rosina Elizabeth Chisholm, daughter of Charles William Wilkinson, of Barbados, died aged 48, on June 3, 1897. The house and its extensive grounds can be seen on the Croydon tithe map of 1844 as occupying the land on which the road lies. It was already fully built up by 1911, when it appear on an Ordnance Survey map.
