In 1812, 100 acres in York Township was granted to James Brock, cousin of Sir Isaac Brock. It was a strip of land that stretched from today's Queen St north to Bloor St, west of Dufferin Ave. In 1850, Brock's widow commissioned a roadway along the centre-line of the parcel that is known today as Brock Ave.
Located in a fairly quiet area of Brockton Village, the location, while well-treed, is somewhat open so try to keep Muggles from being too suspicious.
