This street’s name was inspired either by a village in Scotland or, more likely, by English novelist Wilkie Collins’s bestseller Armadale, first serialized in 1864-1866 and still popular when Armadale Avenue was christened in 1910. Armadale‘s devious femme fatale Lydia Gwilt ruffled many a Victorian reader’s feathers, but whoever christened this street probably just liked the name “Armadale”.
