History
Fairlands and Littlefields Farms, together comprising around 250 acres (100 ha), were sold for development in 1926. Plans for an estate of around 1,000 houses were approved by the borough council in December 1934 and construction began the following year. A second phase of housebuilding began in the late-1950s and Fairlands County Primary School, designed by the architect, Raymond Ash, opened in 1966. The settlement is not bisected by any main roads and continues to reject street lighting. Today 12 residential roads and closes form a clustered hamlet.
