Duckett's Green is a suburban village of Middlesex, deep within the metropolitan conurbation.
The area is mainly residential and borders Duckett's Common. Its area is roughly defined by West Green Road to the south-west, Belmont Road to the south-east, Ivatt Way and Langham Road to the north-east, Westbury Avenue to the north and Turnpike Lane Bus Station to the north-west.
History
The area takes its name from one of the manors of Tottenham, Dovecotes, or Duckett's.[1] The manor house itself was situated further north in the centre of what is today Wood Green. Settlement is first recorded at Duckett's Green in 1293.[1] With agriculture being the main activity in this small area, population remained sparse until the middle of the nineteenth century. By 1860 a few houses had been built along West Green Road just to the east of the junction with Green Lanes and stretching northward, facing Duckett's Common, as far as Duckett's farm-house, then called Dovecote House.[1] Development had also begun along Milton Road.[2]
