Ten Acres
From Lacey Green History
Research by Rita Probert
In the 1950s a large house called 'Ten Acres' stood on part of the old field 'Great Jeffreys': the land and buildings were used as a poultry farm and later by a meat processing company. In the middle of the 1990s, the factory and land adjoining was sold and now houses the Woodbank development of 24 properties.
A new access road (cul-de-sac) was constructed at that time and a 1950's bungalow 'Long View' demolished to accommodate part of the new road. A section of the land once belonging 'Ten Acres' has a Covenant attached preventing property being built within the site. It is unknown when, or by whom this Covenant was made but it was certainly in existence in the 1950s.
