Carpet Cleaning Motspur Park KT3

The name of this South West London suburb comes from Motspur Farm. The farm stood between the Motspur Park and Chilmark Gardens roads. An Ordnance Survey map from 1865 marks this area as Motspur. The second name was added towards the end of the 19th century. It was inspired by other area names such as Raynes Park, Stoneleigh Park, and Worcester Park. The idea was to form a neighboring line of districts named Park. It is falsely believed that the word Park derives from the market gardens that predominated the area. The truth is that Park was a marketing choice to attract wealthy residents.

Before the name Motspur Park was adopted, this KT3 area was known as West Barnes. It was included in the traditional county of Surrey. In the 16th century, the Gresham family owned this area. After two generations, the Greshams sold it to a local farmer named John Carpenter. The Raynes were another prominent family associated with Motspur Park. Raynes Park is named after them. In 1871, there were a few cottages here near the farmhouses and only a few mansions. The area lost its rural character after 1925 when the railway station was opened. The area suffered some damage during World War II. Several houses were bombed but no lives were lost.

The city’s two minor watercourses flow through the area. Beverley Brook, for example, runs through the center from south to north, while its tributary, the Pyl Brook, runs parallel to the east. The world mile record was set at the Motspur Park athletics stadium back in 1938. The stadium was sold to Fulham Football Club in 1999 and became their training ground. The area’s famous residents list includes George Clinton, an American bandleader, songwriter, and record producer. Former professional English footballer Nigel Winterburn and author Caitlin Thomas lived in Motspur Park as well.
