HISTORICAL NOTE: Rosslyn House, an old Hampstead house, lay to the south of the present Lyndhurst Road. Its grounds were curtailed when Lyndhurst Road was laid out in the 1860s; a new lodge was then built. Rosslyn House itself was demolished in 1896. Nos 19-21 Lyndhurst Road form a strong group with the houses by Field and Harry B Measures in Lyndhurst Gardens (qv).
