Le Roi Way in Harewood – Named after Alfred Victor Le Roi (1906-1997). Le Roi was the landowner where this street was formed at 519 Harewood Road prior to Becmead Investments’ ownership. Named in 1999.
A small amount of information from the library website. Alfred’s real name was Alfred Victor Roi and he was born in Oxford but grew up in Southbridge. I couldn’t find his death details and I checked Findagrave, Memorytree and Ancestry website. I was wanting to see what name was used when he died.
This was a weird street as there is only one house with an address on this street. The other houses that look like they are on this street actually have addresses on the neighbouring streets. Almost the entire street had high fences so I couldn’t be nosy and I suspect the property behind the high fence in my photo belongs to a hoarder. The house at 25 Becmead Drive has a letterbox on Le Roi Way which is rather confusing.
