These houses were constructed in 2005 by contractor Ralph Di Giuseppe, who was also President of Bristol Borough Council. The last use of this site was the Walnut Hill Wax Company. These houses are called Walnut Hill houses. The one-way street through the complex was named for the contractor. During World War I, this had been the site of a heating plant which supplied heat to the houses in the newly constructed town of Harriman. After the closing of the shipyard, which was supported by workers from Harriman, the Bancroft-Hickey Manufacturing Company (makers of Grundy wheels and abrasive products) occupied the site. The wax company burned in January 2001.
