In the story

• Farms and fields: Little Oxhey Farm
  The map of the mid-1890s names Little Oxhey Farm on Little Oxhey Lane, just west of the railway. In 1935 its buildings stood on the south side of the lane, about where Lytham Avenue now joins it.
• Clubs, sport and events: Carnivals, fairs and Oxhey Week
  The Lytham Avenue children's Coronation party was held in the Hampden School dining room, and another party was held at the community hall in Hayling Road.
