The solicitor James Anderson Rose, who acted for the Wandsworth Common Preservation Association and lived near by, contested the railway owners’ right to sell this land as surplus when they tried to do so in 1867. After a lawsuit, Rose bought the site from them with the intention of preserving it as an open space. This he was able to do during his lifetime, but shortly after his death in 1890 the land came on the open market.
