The
section in the council’s City Development Department that has responsibility
for street naming and numbering has advised me that a name is required for a new
road associated with the development of 6 houses within the grounds of Broomfield
Nurseries, 3 Albert Road.
I
contacted a local historian to find out if there were any other local links
that might be incorporated in a name and he reminded me that there were once
six mansions along the north side of Albert Road between Victoria Road and
Claypotts Road. In order they were: Aystree,
Broomhall, Brackenbrae, Tay Lodge, Vinebank, and Taymount. Tay Lodge has been demolished and was where
Albert Gardens now stands.
