Houses in Mount Nod Road

The red tiled houses seen here are typical of the older houses on the ABCD Estate - so called after its principal roads, Amesbury, Barcombe, Cricklade and Downton Avenues. It is more properly known as Leigham Court Estate. The original part of the ABCD Estate was built on the 66 acre estate of Leigham Court which had been purchased by the Artisans, Labourers and General Dwellings Company in 1890. Development took place in the 1890s. This view is from the corner of Mount Nod Road with Hailsham Avenue. With gaps for 'G' 'I' and 'J' the other roads on the estate follow on alphabetically. These are Emsworth Street, Faygate Road, Hailsham Avenue, Keymer Road and Lydhurst Avenue. Only a few similar houses were built in Mount Nod Road, but although logically 'M' is next in the sequence, Mount Nod Road is named after Mount Nod Farm which appears on early 19th century maps.
