The progress of the residential development of the area to the south-west of the A40 in Gerrards Cross is well illustrated in large scale Ordnance Survey maps. When the 1925 edition was published there were no houses here at all. By 1938 much of the present-day development along the A40 and along Windsor Road was complete, and the construction of the private estate around The Camp had begun with some fifteen or so houses built. This construction work continued after the Second World War, and this is the present-day entrance to the estate, from the B416 Windsor Road, along the private Camp Road.
