Knightsbridge Park

The city surveyor submitted an application on behalf of Laganville Estate Brick and Terra Cotta Works Limited, proposing to name streets on their property situated off Cricklewood Park as follows: Knightsbridge Park, Hendon Park, Kew Park and Wimbledon Park. He pointed out that the three latter names refer to streets which were continuations of existing streets named Vauxhall Park, Willesden park and Belvedere Park, respectively, and that he was of the opinion that confusion might result by the introduction of the new names proposed. The committee accordingly recommended that approval be given to the name Knightsbridge Park and that the names of the existing streets to given to the new continuation streets and that he be authorised to inform the applicants accordingly. (13th April 1954). As can be in the next excerpt from the minutes - the name Knightsbridge Park is approved in 1958, it is possible it was delayed owing to the rejection of the other names. The city surveyor submitted an application from the Laganvale Estate Brick and Terra Cotta Works Ltd. requesting that the name Knightsbridge Park be given to a proposed street on their development at Stranmillis". (6th May 1958). "On the recommendation of the city surveyor, the committee approved of the proposals of developers to name new streets as follows: Messers. W.M. McMullen and Sons property off Belmond Rd. Schomberg Park. Messrs GH Brown and Sons New Streets adjoining Knightsbridge Park and Bladon Drive, Knightsbridge Park (Continuation) and Bladon Court".
