The nearer boundary of the gardens probably represent the old boundary of the 'green', from which the lane gets its name. Many of the dwellings subsequently built on the green area, like the upper ones here, are built at right angles to the road, with front gardens parallel to the road. This would have allowed more garden area per dwelling than if they had been built facing the road. The row still consists of two dwellings.
