    THE RIVER WANDLE the River Wandle Flows Through the London Boroughs of Croydon, Sutton, Merton and Wandsworth Where It Joins the River Thames

    WANDLE INDUSTRIAL MUSEUM EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION SHEET supporting KS 1/2 History & Geography: H KS2 - a study of..a site that is significant in the locality Gg KS1 – use basic geographical vocabulary to refer to rivers Gg KS2 – understand key aspects of … rivers THE RIVER WANDLE The River Wandle flows through the London Boroughs of Croydon, Sutton, Merton and Wandsworth where it joins the River Thames. It’s main sources are from chalk springs along the foothills of the North Downs around the Carshalton and Croydon areas, although several of these are now dried up. The existing spring sources can be found in Carshalton Ponds, Beddington Park, Waddon Ponds and more recently Wandle Park. The river flows for 19 kilometres (12 miles) falling 58 metres (136 feet) over its length. As a result it is fast flowing compared to neighbouring tributaries such as the Graveney, Norbury Brook and the Bourne streams. This made it very attractive to be used to drive water wheels. It is no surprise that in 1805 the Wandle was described as “the hardest worked river for its size in the world” due to the numerous water mills along it. It also had the reputation of being the best trout fishing river in the country, frequently used by Lord Nelson when visiting Merton. The origin of the name of the river is unclear. It is likely that Wandle, and that of Wandsworth, is derived from Saxon “Wendlesworth” meaning “Wendle’s settlement”. The charter of AD 693 called it the hlida burnon or highbourne meaning “loud stream”. The earliest reference to the current name is in 1586.

    Polling District and Polling Places Review 2011 Final Report of the Returning Officer

    Appendix A Polling District and Polling Places Review 2011 Final Report of the Returning Officer This report sets out for consideration by the Council the Returning Officer’s arrangements for polling districts and polling places within the London Borough of Croydon. The review has been conducted according to the requirements of the Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places (Parliamentary Elections) Regulations 2006 that came into force on 1 January 2007. The consultation period lasted from 1 September until 23 September 2011. All submissions were considered and appear in this final report. The Polling District Review Task Group, consisting of four members of the Council, considered and reviewed the Returning Officer’s proposals. The methodology followed in producing the proposals was as follows: • That the Returning Officer’s median figure for the initial review of 1,750 projected polling station voters per polling district formed the basis of the recommendations within this report • That, in line with Electoral Commission guidelines, there will no more than 2,500 electors allocated to each polling station • That electors will be distributed equally amongst all polling districts in the Ward, where practicable • That accessibility requirements will be accounted for when allocating polling places • That local disability groups will be consulted as part of the review • Polling district boundaries could be changed but not the Ward boundaries Other considerations: • There are many new developments in the process of being built.

  • Pollards Hill History

    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.
