Road off south side of Morden Road, on east side of Ravensbury Park.

Built in 1929/30 by Hadnutt & Robinson, of 157 Cecil Road, Thornton Heath, whose planning application, number 1561, said: 64 new villas and new road called Morden Gardens, off Morden Road. Source: page 124, volume XV of Mitcham Urban District Council minutes, 1929-1930.

1952 OS map

The 1952 OS map shows houses numbered odd on east side from 1 to 39, and even on the west side from 2 to 40. Bungalows at the southern end of the road, numbered 41 and 42, were built around 1961. All the properties in this road have the postcode CR4 4DH.

Glendene, Love Lane

Possibly the earlier name for number 77 Love Lane CR4 3AW, in use before that road was renumbered.

In 1935 George Victor Dearn, of 77 Love Lane, registered the land that was to become Dearn Gardens. In 1929, planning application number 1515 was submitted by G.V. Dearn of “Glendene”, Love Lane, to build a WC and shed. The assumption then is that these two people are the same and that he didn’t move between 1929 and 1935.
