Our Lady of the Holy Souls, on the corner of Bosworth Road, was opened in 1882. The building has a commanding presence in the local street scene and is of interest as an early design by a significant Catholic architect.
In the early twentieth century, the houses on the west side of Bosworth Road were demolished and a park put in their place.
During the early 1960s, the area underwent a major transformation as houses were demolished and blocks put up in their place.
