It is likely that some of the houses on Ridge Lane were built before 1934. According to one report Page 113
“Until the 1920s, this area was largely occupied by farmland and woodland, while the area to the west of Ridge Lane was occupied by parkland relating to the Russells Estate” and Page 150
“During the early twentieth century a number of additional properties were built along Hempstead Road, Ridge Lane and Nascot Wood Road, but the density of built form in the area remained very low”

A plan of the proposed housing layout dated 1934 shows the corner field, by Ridge Lane owned by the British Legion
but the sports field seems to have been owned by the British Legion earlier than 1934 as a gymkhana and fete was advertised in the Bucks Herald in 1932.
