Figges Marsh

[6] This was in celebration of HM Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee & the 2012 London Olympics.

The parks that participated in the scheme received a commemorative plaque, an oak sapling &, potentially, access to an improvement grant.

[7][8] At the eastern boundary of Figges Marsh, during the medieval period, was the Biggin Farm estate.

The Pascall's confectionery factory was located here in 1888, built on land purchased from James Bridger's Manor Farm,[9] taking advantage of the locally grown peppermint oil.

[10][11][12][13] However, the area to the east and west remained agricultural and open; Swain's & Tamworth farm, at the western boundary of Figges Marsh, are made reference to in the 1900 map [The Underground Map, as below].
