Historically, the Parade was named in 1860. It was originally known as Lillington Lane, renamed to Union Row around 1809, and then Union Parade. The lower section of the street was laid out between 1810 and 1814. Initially built as houses, lodging-houses, and hotels, many of these buildings had become shops by 1850. The original structures were brick fronted. No. 132 is part of a notable group of buildings in the area.
