This feature is recorded in the English Heritage Historic Area Assessment for St Mary Hoo Parish. The report states: "On the east side of the parish several loose clusters of farmsteads and farmworkers cottages had developed…In 1887 a row of five workers' cottages, Rose Cottages, were built at the junction of the Ratcliffe Highway and an access road to Coombe Farm, sometimes referred to as Coombe Corner. This was near a section of the Ratcliffe Highway that followed the field boundaries, creating a succession of sharp bends." (1)
