Place Name
Like nearby Bycullah Avenue, its name comes from the Bycullah House estate, over which it was laid out in the later part of the 19thCentury. The house and the 54-acre estate of Bycullah Park, was named after a suburb of Bombay by a retired Indian Army officer, Colonel John Reginald Riddell, who became a director of the York and Lancaster Railway company. He died at the property in 1825. The Bycullah estate was developed from 1878 by Mr A Culloden Rowan. Building on former Chase land near Windmill Hill was also stimulated by the opening of the railway station in Enfield in 1871. It was marked on an auctioneer’s plan of 1888.
