Historical Note - Faulkland Road was built from 1902 (and first listed in city directories as "Falkland Road, Durley Park") and the first homes, unsurprisingly Nos 1 & 2, were occupied by Mark Massey (ostler) and Frederick Lanning (painter). However, it was not until 1912 that all of the houses in the road were finished and even then 13 homes were not yet occupied. This is in stark contrast to neighbouring St Kildas Rd where construction started in 1899 and 27 homes were already built by the following year.



This property was first occupied in 1913 by Frank J Morris (assistant) and Frank's neighbours were Albert Hayter (mason) and Harry Love (builder).
