Land settlement The Land Settlement was originally part of Abington Hall Estate and known as New House Farm. It was purchased by the Land Settlement Association (lsa) in 1936 to establish the Abington Land Settlement Association's Estate. The land amounted to 688 acres and it was divided into 62 holdings. Most of the holdings were situated on North Road, South Road and Chalky Road with three along Pampisford Road.

Like many other former lsa estates, the policy area is characterised by a relatively uniform collection of smallholdings of 1 – 11 acres depending on the location within the Land Settlement area. The long straight roads (all of which are unadopted, owned and maintained by Abington Estate Management Limited (aeml) which is a limited company set up to manage the roads) and uniform plots are the result of the farming techniques used.

Smallholdings had outbuildings located to the side of the dwellings. Originally each had a piggery and a small green house; other outbuildings were often added. Many had several large glasshouses.
