Viewed from Tarling Road, Simms Gardens recalls the name of the founder of Simms Motor Units, subsequently part of Lucas CAV. This is part of the housing estate built following the closure of the factory on this site. This area was the car park. Previously, it had been allotments. The road, which routes through to Long Lane, is divided in the middle to prevent through traffic and is called Lucas Gardens at the other end.
