Originally a field called Ten Acres according to Hurstpierpoint's 1842 tithe map. By the end of the 19th century the portion adjacent to what is now Western Road was built upon with the rest becoming Courtbushes Nursery which remained in operation until the 1970s. Initially the eastern end of Nursery Close was built before it was extended into what remained the rest of the field in the 1990s.
