“On the application of the owners, it was resolved that a new street situate off Ravenhill Avenue be named Millar Street” (Minutes, 26th October 1920).
"Resolved ...that the names Chesham Terrace, Chesham Street, Ardenlee Gardens, Chesham Parade, Chesham Drive and Millar Street be approved for new streets on the estate of Messrs. Stewart & Partners off Ravenhill Avenue". (15th January 1935).
It is likely this street was called after Arthur Millar.
“Andrew Millar was a very old established jam manufacturing business formed in 1873, Millar jam had been a market leading product in the Province. Mass produced jam post war from the big companies meant that it was difficult to compete with the national companies and the jam production was ended after two or three years.” Andrew Millar & Company which occupied a 50,000 sq ft warehouse at Ravenhill Avenue was bought over by the Henderson Group in 1956.
