The Chase
A road marked on 19th and early 20th Century maps as Chart Road, but with no development, part of a line of paths and roads connecting Cockshot Hill and Shaws Corner. The current name first appears on the 1935 1:2,500 map, along with a few houses, including no 9, the nearest of the houses seen here. The further ones are not marked and so would seem to be slightly later.

The Chase
A road by the name of Chart Road is shown here on maps dating back to the late 19th century, and the route itself is probably older, being part of the network of paths that led from what is now Shaws Corner to Cockshot Hill (see Image for example).
However, development for housing did not start until the 1930s (the house on the right was built in 1932), and it seems that the name The Chase was introduced around that time, presumably as a marketing ploy
