Built in the 1980s, or possibly a little later, this unit occupies land which was once wholly wooded by the southern end of Hem Coppice, or the northern end of Piper's Coppice, an ancient woodland that covered much of this area in the late 19th century. My recollection as a child in the 1970s is that it was also effectively common land, and sometimes grazed by pigs. Fragments of the woodlands remain, but much has been removed by development.
