Map of the Downham Area, 1904

map-01374-350

It would not be correct to call this Downham in 1904, as the name was invented for the new estate, which had not even been thought of at this time.

Until 1914 the area later covered by the estate was occupied by the fields between Southend and Grove Park, mostly attached to Shroffold and Holloway Farms.
