  1. This thread is fascinating.  I’ve lived on the Foxhill Road side of the park for just under two years now and have been curious about the origins of Standhill/KGV park.  The deeds to our house refer to the land on which our house is built being originally part of the Foxhill Garden Estate, a network of allotments that I think cross-crossed the area encompassing Ernest Road, Burton Avenue, Highfield Drive, Standhill Avenue, Third Avenue and Fourth Avenue.  It might explain why the majority of the houses and bungalows in this area are individually designed as land was potentially sold off as individual plots rather than in a bulk to a developer.  That having been said, I think Prospect Road must have been created by a developer as the majority of the properties are uniform in design.
