History
An ancient route was the lane from Battle or Bradford Bridge (King's Cross) to Highgate recorded in 1492. Caledonian Road, originally the Chalk Road but renamed after the Caledonian asylum, was built in 1826 by the Battle Bridge and Holloway Road Company, to provide a direct cut from the area west of the City to Holloway Road via Battle Bridge.
