Buckhurst Crescent, like the majority of roads in Walcot, is named after a famous Elizabethan figure, in this case Thomas Sackville, 1st Earl of Dorset also known as Lord Buckhurst http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Sackville,_1st_Earl_of_Dorset Many of the tenants have benefited from the 'right to buy' legislation of the 1980s and on becoming owner-occupiers made improvements to their homes, some of which are visible in this image.
