Synehurst Crescent
Synehurst Crescent is so-called because of the old field name. The land was known as Seaneys Ground at the beginning of the 19th century but, by the beginning of the 20th century, it was known as Corner Ground or Sinehurst. The land used to belong to Aldington but it became part of Badsey in 1921.
Synehurst Crescent was the second phase of Council development when seven pairs of semi-detached houses were built in 1933 to meet the growing need. The gardens were all shaped like a wedge of cheese. The new occupants were primarily people who had lived in the cottages at Sharps Row which had been due for demolition for some time. Two years later, at the same time as Synehurst Avenue was built, three more pairs of houses were added on the opposite side of the road. Synehurst Crescent was originally a cul-de-sac with no exit at the north end to the Bretforton Road, but this was later changed. Rather confusingly, a sign saying Synehurst Crescent has been put on to the side of number 30 Synehurst.
