Cheltenham Road, Dandenong, 1992.

Taken from near the end of Carrol Lane, looking easterly, towards Hammond Road. The former Caltex site, on the corner of Hammond and Cheltenham, is now home to a car rental dealership.

Originally named Grace Street, the section of Cheltenham Road, between about where George/Allan Street intersection is now, and Foster Street, was officially renamed to Cheltenham Road in 1970.

This, along with the section west of George/Allan Street, which was known as Brighton Road at the time, meant renumbering of properties on Cheltenham Road, extending out to Chandler Road.

Cheltenham Road is in the process of being extended through to Princes Hwy, with and underpass under the railway, and through the old Half Case Warehouse, IGA, and more recently Marmara Meats site.
