The name Furnace Green is a reference to the iron smelting which is reputed to have taken place in Roman times - the local public house is the Charcoal Burner. Like much of Crawley, the street naming is themed i.e. different areas are linked by associated names. There are racecourses – including Newmarket, Fontwell and others, forests - including Arden, Savernake and Epping, references to The Broads - including Waveney, Oulton, Norwich, and Yarmouth. There are also references to the iron industry - Coltash Road, Weald Drive, and the name Feroners Close also recalls the iron smelting.
