A cul-de-sac off North Common Road that was built in the 1990s on the site of Wivelsfield Nurseries. The latter were constructed as an extension of an existing nursery to the south of North Common Road by the Allwood Brothers who became famous for their carnations producing a variety of Sweet William known as Sweet Wivelsfield. The company remained on the site until moving away in 1960 though the nurseries were still used until their closure and demolition.
