Orleston Road dates from the late 1830s.

During the 1820s, the construction of buildings began to spread towards the west from Holloway Road. By 1829, Palmer Place, Palmer Street, and Madras Place had been built between Holloway Road and Paradise Row. On the north side of the schools, which had been renamed Liverpool Road, stood Paradise House, while the beginning of Bride Street was on the south side. North of Park Street South, houses had been constructed in York Place (later St Clement Street) and Barnsbury Grove. Further along Holloway Road, Cornwall Place and George’s Place (later George’s Road) had been extended westward as Eden Grove and the Grove, with terraced and detached houses to connect to Caledonian Road.

St James’s church was built on Victoria Road (later Chillingworth Road) in 1837-1838, and the district schools were built on George’s Road in 1838.

By 1841, the area between Palmer Place and Victoria Road had been partially developed, and further infilling had occurred north of Victoria Road. A long terrace called Loraine Place, set back from the road, had been built along the stretch of Holloway Road from Holloway Chapel to Camden Road. More buildings had also gone up south of the schools and chapel of ease. Albion Road and Union Road (later Furlong Road and Orleston Road) had been laid out in 1839 and a few semi-detached villas had been built.

To the west of Liverpool Road, the area south of the schools and Sheringham Road was covered with detached houses extending westward to Westbourne Road, and Bride Street was also expanded almost to Roman Way, although building was still minimal in this area.

Union Road became Orleston Road in 1890. Orlestone is a civil parish in the Ashford District of Kent.
