This
map shows Blackfen prior to its development
as a residential suburb.
The land is given over to agriculture, but
there are a few large houses, such as Merino
Place, Queen's Wood and Woodlands.
The Woodman Public house serves travellers
on the Blackfen Road.
Up until 1870 the land north of Woodlands
was a forest known as West Wood. |
