History

This area of Gosnells was known as East Cannington until named Beckenham after a town near London with many of the street names reflecting this theme. Subdivision of this area began with its sale as lots from the Sevenoaks estate in the 1890s.

Originally the large lots offered were for farming or brickmaking. During the inter-war period some lots were taken up for residential development but most development occurred in the period following World War Two when the area was more densely settled.
