Location The Webb Estate was conceived and constructed by William Webb who acquired the land in 1888. When Croydon Municipal Tramways
reached Purley in 1901, the Estate was finally within commuting distance of London, bringing his vision a 'garden suburb for city men'
one step closer. The Estate is now a designated conservation area and has maintained its tranquillity and character for over a century.
Every road has its individual charm and character with Rose Walk deriving its name from the 6000 roses from 400 varieties originally
planted. Its red surface and grand gated entrances at either end add to the exclusivity of this premier road.
