An odd mixture of houses and small business premises, this was built some 25 years later than centurion Place. There is a strange story about how this was named. The three houses were built by Cornelius Shrivell who died in 1837. A devout man he read in the Bible, Acts, Chapter X of Cornelius, the centurion, and used this title for his houses. Centurion Road carried on the name, and at one time houses at the northern end were called Centurion Terrace.
