Introduction

These streets were built in an area previously occupied by East Pilton Farm, which can still be seen on the 1933 street map. The relatively recent streets use the full name of East Pilton Farm, whereas the streets formed in the 1930s use just the Pilton name.

The layout of the streets in the initial part of the development was by the City Architect (see the links at the foot of this page) with at least some of the properties being built by McTaggart & Mickel.
