    The Datchet Health Walk 09 (16) Chertsey Meads, Weybridge & Shepperton Centre 04 September 2016 – 10am start Walking Group We meet in Chertsey Meads car park (not the second car park further down Mead Lane) OS Explorer map 160 ref: TQ 055662 Directions to meeting point From Datchet, drive along the A308 through Runnymede, then beneath the M25 to the Staines Bridge roundabout. Take the second exit and follow the A320 past Thorpe Park. Just after the bridge over the M25, turn left along the B375 to Chertsey. Drive through the village centre. At the end of the main shopping area, the road turns sharp left. Soon after this bend, turn right at traffic lights into Weir Road. Take the second road on the left, Mead Lane. Drive straight ahead over the speed humps. Soon after passing the gated entrance to Chertsey Meads, turn left into the free car park. Walk description The walk is 5 miles long and it is flat. It starts at Chertsey Meads, an area of land that was traditionally farmed as hay meadows. Its SSSI status was withdrawn in the 1980’s when more intensive farming methods killed the indigenous wild flowers and grasses. There has been a move in recent years to manage the land more sensitively, thereby encouraging native flora and fauna to return. The walk continues along the towpath of the Wey Navigation, opened in 1653 to provide a navigable connection between Guildford and the Thames at Weybridge. Walkers then have to cross the Thames via a pedestrian toll ferry to Shepperton Lock (fee £2 per person, dogs free).

  • Life at Staines in the 1950'S
    A childhood at Staines in the 1950’s K. A. Jaggers January 2005, updated March 2006 and August 2017 Introduction The Taylor Woodrow development of some 300 houses off the Kingston Road at Shortwood Common, Staines, was built in 1934 – 35. This comprised Fenton Avenue, Kenilworth Gardens, Strode’s Crescent, Petersfield Road and Warwick Avenue, and formed a relatively self-contained community with its small shopping parade and dairy, and the new redbrick Christchurch. Only the pub, the “Jolly Butcher” on the main road opposite the top of Fenton Avenue (pictured in 1997) predated the development; it was originally built to serve travellers from London and until then was surrounded by green fields. The houses comprised two main types, 3-bedroom semis and 2-bedroom terraced houses. Fenton Avenue and Kenilworth Gardens were mainly the latter, in blocks of four, with the semis on the corner plots only. The other roads comprised mainly just the semis. Our Staines House When Dad’s employers, the insurance brokers Norman Frizzell & Partners, were evacuated from their City of London offices to Staines upon the outbreak of war in September 1939, Mum & Dad also moved home from their native Walthamstow to Staines, initially taking a flat above the women’s wear shop, “Lesley” in the Broadway, further along Kingston Road towards Staines. However, they were soon able to rent one of the Taylor Woodrow terraced houses, at 20 Fenton Avenue. While their husbands were away on war service, Mum lived here together with her sister Vera. After the war, as a result of the owner defaulting on his mortgage payments, my parents were given the option to purchase the house outright for £432, in 1946.

  • The River Thames
    THE THAMES THROUGH TIME The Archaeology of the Gravel Terraces of the Upper and Middle Thames: The Thames Valley in the Medieval and Post-Medieval Periods AD 1000–2000 The River Thames THE THAMES THROUGH TIME The Archaeology of the Gravel Terraces of the Upper and Middle Thames: The Thames Valley in the Medieval and Post-Medieval Periods AD 1000-2000 The River Thames By James Bond, Anne Dodd, Jill Hind and Trevor Rowley INTRODUCTION By AD 1000, the Thames was largely established along its modern course (Fig. 1). The character of the river and its immediate environs has been studied as part of numerous archaeological investigations in the valley (Booth et al . 2007; Lambrick et al . 2009; Morigi et al . 2011). By the time of Domesday Book, extensive areas along the river banks were cultivated as hay meadow, and detailed local archaeological studies suggest that this could have begun as early as the 8th or 9th century (eg Booth et al . 2007, 331–6). In places, earlier channels silted up as the alluvium left behind by seasonal floods heightened, extending old river islands and creating new ones. There is abundant evidence for human intervention in these processes from the late Saxon period onwards, with the dumping of soil and refuse at the water-edge to raise the ground level, infill unwanted channels and extend habitable land. The cutting and stabilisation of these channels provided water for milling, industrial processes and navigation. Between AD 1000 and 2000, the Thames provided a wide range of resources to local inhabitants. It was an indispensable source of water for brewing, washing, irrigation and industry; it was the chief drain and sewer of the region, carrying away human and industrial waste; it provided power for mills; it was a source of fish and wildfowl, and of reeds, rushes and willow for flooring and wickerwork; and, it was a highway for transport between the west, the midlands and the port and capital city of London.
