Place Name
Part of the early 1980s Riverside Drive development which was laid out on either side of Locksmeade Road. All the names on the estate have a connection with the nearby lock, the river itself or occupations. When houses were put up for sale in 1981 this was originally called Ferryman’s Close in recognition of the popular field name Ferry Field but it was changed to the present name to avoid confusion with the nearby Ferrymoor.
