The name of the fields according to Telscombe's 1842 tithe map. The furlongs were often open strips of land within a larger field and often farmed by different tenants. The first three named were located in the foreground and ran southwards to what is now Springfield Avenue. The last named was located further to the east near the current built up area. The houses in the distance on the left were built in the 1960s on the site of Warren Farm which itself came into existence during the latter part of the 18th century and farmed much of the land in view.
