 The first building to reflect the name was Lavender Hall on the south side of the road in 1790.The road itself, which ran just below the crest of the hill, was not widely referred to as Lavender Hill until the later 1800s.Several smaller streets developed in the Victoria era, including Lavender Gardens, Lavender Walk (an ancient farm lane) and Lavender Sweep, also reflect the area's historic lavender industry.
