 Of the original 45 allotments, 36 houses were built, and 30 are still standing.Hoskins allegedly planned for his niece to have them named after towns lying on the original Appian Way in Italy, but only four eventuated, a 'Roma', 'Brindisi', 'Capua', and 'Alba Longa' All bar two houses are single storey, 'Brianza' and the now-demolished 'Brindisi' gaining a second floor so they could capture some aspect of the green.The street has become the backdrop for movies and television advertisements, such as the 1987 mini-series "Vietnam".
