West Avenue first appears in Bath street directories in 1892 although construction started in 1889. Millmead Rd followed in 1896 and Ringwood Road itself was constructed from 1897. Given the proximity of the Somerset & Dorset railway line (now the Linear Park) and the GWR main line, a large number of the local houses were occupied in the early years of the century by railway workers. Another local industry at the time of building was the Victoria Brick and Tile Company whilst Chesterman's dairy was located in Millmead Rd, just around the corner. 1895 local occupation records for this section of the road are as follows;
80 - Baker Robert B., engine driver
81 - Hole Albert, stoker
82 - West Edward G., barman
83 - Hill William, mason
84 - Payne Frederick, barman
85 - Hill George, builder
86 - Pinney Herbert J., baker
