Persimmon named the road to the north Braeburn Gardens.
Bizarre considering the Braeburn Apple originated in New Zealand and this orchard stocked english variety of apples.

This web site wrote to Persimmon pointing out this anomaly and suggested a more appropriate name


Site Plan published by Persimmon renaming Babergh Gardens to Pikes Marsh, November 2013

Ref:-
First Edition 25 inch Ordnance Survey of 1885
This land included two 'ruinous' houses on the Nayland Road, one of which was known as Pike House and was associated with ground called Pikes Acre and a marsh called Pikes Marsh.

Acknowledgment to Leigh Alston, village historian.
