The 230 acre estate, originally known as the Princess Bank or Westbourne Park estate, was laid out for David Parkinson Garbutt, local shipowner and shipbuilder, in 1874. It consists of the north section of Prince's Avenue, four main avenues running east to west, and two lesser streets cutting across the avenues north to south. The streets are all tree-lined and the main avenues are quite broad. Prince's Avenue was the first part to be declared 'open' in 1875 and the first houses in 'The Avenues' appeared in 1877-9. Rapid residential development followed, continuing into the first decade of the 20th century, and the essential character of The Avenues was formed by 1910, although other houses have been added since.

‘The Avenues’ comprises Marlborough, Westbourne, Park and Victoria Avenues, crossed by Richmond Street and Salisbury Street, and a stretch of Princes Avenue running from Marlborough Avenue to Victoria Avenue. Marlborough Avenue takes its name from Marlborough House, Anlaby Road, the then residence of the aforesaid David Parkinson Garbutt.
