  • Pollards Hill History
    Pollards Hill history Pollards Hill occupies the highest point in Norbury and on a clear day can give views of Central Croydon, Epsom Downs, Mitcham Common, Windsor Castle and the Crystal Palace TV masts. A survey was made of the ancient Manor of Benchesham or Bensham towards the end of the 13th century and recorded that tracts of land known as Pollards Hill and Grandon were attached to the Manor. The document which was unfortunately damaged at some time, shows that John de Mortimer was the tenant‐in‐chief, and that he owed attendance at the Archbishop's Court at Croydon every three weeks. In the Manor there was a messuage with garden, curtilage and mound and ditch lying to it, containing seven acres. The arable land of the Manor, which included 51 acres in South Pollards Hill, 60 acres in North Pollards Hill, and about 90 acres in Grandon. The Hill was formally part of the North Wood and the name "Pollard" derives from this connection. The height of the hill over the surrounding land would have given clear views to early man and therefore it may have been used as an early observation post. The road layout of Pollards Hill is clearly shown on the 1868 map of the area and is marked by two avenues of trees. Pollards Hill was given to the Council in 1913 by Sir Frederick Edridge, five times Mayor of Croydon, who was also a benefactor to Croydon in many other ways. The land had been left as an open space as the surrounding estate quickly developed.

  • Trams in Brixton 1870 - 1951
    TRAMS IN BRIXTON 1870 - 1951 Horse Trams Two Acts of Parliament, passed in 1869 and 1870, empowered the Metropolitan Street Tramways Company to construct tramways from the Lambeth end of Westminster Bridge to Brixton and to Clapham. The company got to work quickly; they lost no time in laying down double tracks with rails level with the surface of the road. 2 May 1870 was an important day in Brixton's history. It was the day when the first authorised tramcars operated in London. 1 The new trams ran that day from the Horns Tavern in Kennington Road and along Brixton Road as far as its junction with Stockwell Road. The smart blue tramcars were hauled by two horses. Cars seated 22 persons inside and 24 on the open top deck. The passengers inside sat on red velvet cushions. For top deck passengers were two wooden benches running the length of the tram; these passengers faced outwards. Trams ran every five minutes. The normal fare was a penny a mile but Parliament had required special trams to be run for workmen in the morning and evenings at a halfpenny a mile.2 As soon as the 1870 Act was passed more track laying was rushed on with, and by the end of 1870 trams were in service from the Lambeth end of Westminster Bridge to St Matthew's church, Brixton, and another line ran along Clapham Road to the Swan at Stockwell. During 1871 tramcars had reached the Plough at Clapham, and the Brixton Line had been extended to the junction of Brixton Water Lane.
