1958: Going back 50 years shows a significant set of differences:

                  • No Priest Avenue.

                  • No Tattersall Close - just the pond and streams that it is built over.
                  • Most of FHD has been built along, but not all.

                  • There are houses on the north side of London Road, but not the Bean Oak estate. Also a few
                     opposite the pub.

                  • There are no shops on Rances Lane.
                  • Buckhurst Farm is prominent.

                  • The area round St Crispins was called "Frogall Green" on this map. On all earlier maps it is
                     correctly spelt "Froghall Green", so I assume this is a typo.

                  • The only road named is Clay Lane.

                  • What is now Buckhurst Grove appears to give a secondary access to the hall, from Waterloo
                     Road.
