  • Riddlesdown History
    Riddlesdown history The main part of Riddlesdown was bought by the City of London in 1833 and the purchase resolved the William Hall lawsuit brought against Squire Byron, Lord of the Manor of Coulsdon. In 1877, Byron, the Squire of Coulsdon,was taken to the Court of Chancery for encroaching on Common land of the Manor (land adjoining Riddlesdown chalkpit). The case was brought by William Hall of Little Roke House, which stood off the western corner of Riddlesdown just below the railway, and his brother. As landowners themselves, they would have benefitted if the land had in fact been enclosed. Apart from its immediate effect ,the case of Hall vs. Byron resulted in a large quantity of records about the local people, customs and land holdings at the time. Judgement was given for the Halls, and an injunction restrained Byron from enclosing common land. Halls solicitors then sued him for their costs, amounting to £1,000 as no judgement was given on this item. His total costs in the affair were £3,510. The City of London Corporation provided the final solution by paying £7,000 plus the costs for Byrons freehold and rights of commonage. The purchase of local land for preservation as open space continued in 1883 when the London Corporation bought the other Coulsdon Commons: Farthing Downs, Coulsdon Common and Kenley Common, to add to the existing Riddlesdown acquisition. The name Riddlesdown was first recorded in 1331 as Ridelesdoune and is believed to be mediaeval English 'riddeleah' ‐ cleared woodland. It is also believed that the Down was once capped with Beech trees which are common on chalk because of the good drainage provided.

  • Croydon Digital Infrastructure Toolkit
    September 2020 Version: 2.0 Contents 1. Introduction 3 2. Digital Infrastructure Guidance 3 3. Process 4 Annex 1 – Expression of Interest 8 2 1. Introduction Croydon’s vision is to become a truly digital council and borough. With ambitious plans to deliver digital transformation, we will maximise opportunities for digital design, data and technology to enhance growth, quality of life, sustainability and individual opportunity in Croydon. Croydon published its first digital strategy in July 2019 outlining how the council will deliver the services and infrastructure residents need to thrive and live happy, healthy lives. The overarching ambitions being the creation of a modern, sustainable town and borough that is a great place to live, work, play and do business, whilst remaining resilient and competitive in a rapidly changing world. Improving Croydon’s digital infrastructure through enhanced mobile and broadband connectivity to residents, communities and businesses is one of our highest priorities. Croydon’s challenge is to develop a digital infrastructure that matches our ambition. We aim to improve connectivity speeds and capacity across the borough by creating the conditions for, and enabling the provision of technically capable and future proof digital connectivity infrastructure. Delivering a digital infrastructure that will empower our residents, businesses, community and voluntary sector and public services, and contribute to Croydon’s economic growth. 2. Digital Infrastructure Guidance Guidance published by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) paves the way for “a clear and transparent process for industry and government”. Croydon Council has developed this Digital Infrastructure Toolkit on the basis of the DCMS guidance and has adopted a non-exclusive, open access approach to Telecommunication Operators.

  • Local Resident Submissions to the London Borough of Croydon Electoral Review
    Local resident submissions to the London Borough of Croydon electoral review This PDF document contains submissions from residents in Croydon. The submissions from have been collated into one document. They have been sorted alphabetically, by surname. (A-B) Starkie, Emily From: Wasee Abu Sent: 07 May 2017 21:10 To: reviews; Subject: Comments on LGBCE Croydon Review I am responding to the draft report by the LGBCE Boundary Review for LB Croydon, for which the deadline for comments is 8th May 2017. I have been a Purley resident for the last 11 years and an active member of the community. I’m delighted to see that you propose to remove the anomaly whereby many local residents who think of themselves as living in Purley because they have a Purley postal address, find that they live officially in Kenley or Coulsdon West wards. I often receive casework from local residents who describe themselves as living in Purley, and they are sometimes quite upset to find that they are deemed to be living elsewhere. It’s clearly the case that “postal Purley” is far too large to be a single ward, but your proposal to split it into two wards of three and two councillors respectively, to be called Purley & Woodcote and Purley Oaks & Riddlesdown is obviously sensible. The name Purley & Woodcote restores a sense of pride and a historical link to the pre-GLC era in the Woodcote area of West Purley, as the residents certainly do not think of themselves as living anywhere near Coulsdon, nor do most of them have a CR5 postcode, which belongs to Coulsdon.

C. POLKINGHORNE, B.Sc, F.C.S. WITH NUMEROUS ILLUSTRATIONS AND MAPS BY SYDNEY HARROWING and FRANK PERCY SMITH LONDON ELLIOT STOCK, 62, PATERNOSTER ROW, E.G. 1903 776. -^ PREFACE These chapters attempt to give the results of some years of observation and research respecting a famihar branch of archaeologx', so far as it concerns the North-East corner of the most beautiful of the home counties. The district explored lies close to the wilderness of London. In the exploration, difficulty has been the twin-brother of desire, for whilst it seemed well to examine the area nearest our feet, it was plain that this must be done speedily, for bricks and mortar are spreading apace. The supposed barrow at Bedford Hill is demolished and built over ; vandals have partly destroyed the barrows on Banstead Downs ; and the crumbling fortilications at Car- dinal's Cap, already barely discernible, are in private grounds, or they might soon be merged in the formation of a stronghold of more modern type. Beddington, IMitcham. Ewell, and other villages, are fast losing their rural features, Within the last two or three years the builder has spoiled some of the haunts of Neolithic man described in these pages. There were two further difficulties to be met. [Much of the North Downs is covered with the compact turf of ages, which thus conceals ancient remains.

  • Riddlesdown Quarry (Formerly Rose and Crown Pit), Recommended RIGS London Borough of Croydon, TQ 337 594 Ownership: City of London Corporation
    Guide to London’s Geological Sites GLA 26: Riddlesdown Quarry (formerly Rose and Crown Pit), Recommended RIGS London Borough of Croydon, TQ 337 594 Ownership: City of London Corporation. Access via ranger/council. Riddlesdown Quarry The large disused chalk quarry now known as Riddlesdown is the most spectacular of all the quarries within the Greater London area. It is straddled by the London to Oxted railway. Nearly 50 m of Chalk are exposed and it is an invaluable asset for researchers and engineers studying the nature of the Chalk beneath London. It is also an extremely useful teaching quarry for school-age children, students and geological groups. It is a biological SSSI. The quarry predates the railway which crosses on a viaduct built about 1880-84. It appears that quarrying began in the late 1700s. It was actively worked, with lime kilns operating, until closure in 1964. It was saved from landfill or development, the fate of nearly all other former large quarries in the London area, by being purchased by the City of London Corporation in 1996. They now actively use the quarry for educational purposes. The faces are conserved and the vegetation kept down by employing a flock of sheep. Scrub has been cleared from a scree slope and steps installed to give access to the main face. A viewing point at the top of the steps gives a panoramic view of the quarry and across the Caterham Valley to the west. The Chalk Nearly 50 m of chalk from the Glynde Marls (New Pit Chalk Formation) at the base to the Seaford Chalk Formation at the top is displayed within the quarry, giving an overview of typical sediment types and structures found in the North Downs and beneath London.
