Extract from the OS 1874 1:500 town plan of Abingdon (published in about 1877) showing the housing immediately to the west of the Saw Mills on the corner of Spring Road and at the start of March Road, the main road going west out of town.
There are three villas followed by three pairs of semi-detached cottages. The central villa is a single dwelling while both its neighbours are divided into two dwellings.
