  • Box Hill, Ranmore and Denbies
    point your feet on a new path Box Hill, Ranmore and Denbies Distance: 12 km=7½ miles moderate walking Region: Surrey Date written: 2-jan-2017 Author: Fusszweig Date revised: 30-dec-2019 Refreshments: Last update: 18-mar-2021 Box Hill, Burford Bridge, Westhumble Map: Explorer 146 (Dorking) but the map in this guide should be sufficient Problems, changes? We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. High hills, green slopes, views, village, woodland trail, vineyard trail, long climb with steps In Brief This walk was originally done to work off the Christmas excesses and it did the job magnificently. The two beauty spots that feature here seem to be so well known, but somehow the walk shows up a number of surprises, so that you may feel that you are discovering something completely new. In the tradition of walks on this site, the route takes some unusual paths, familiar to locals but less known outside the area. The last stretch includes a bridge over the Mole, followed by a very long series of steps: not for the faint-hearted! Starting on the top of Box Hill gives you a good chance for an early snack and a refresher at the end and makes sure you don’t opt out of the steepest part of the walk. But you could equally well start at Denbies Hillside (begin from section 5 ) with the idea of a lunch break on Box Hill.

  • Box Hill Via Dorking Stations
    point your feet on a new path Box Hill via Dorking Stations Distance: 8 km=5 miles moderate walking Region: Surrey Date written: 7-jan-2018 Author: Fusszweig Last update: 7-sep-2020 Refreshments: Box Hill, Westhumble, Dorking Map: Explorer 146 (Dorking) but the map in this guide should be sufficient Problems, changes? We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. River, high hills, views, vineyards, country town In Brief The famous beauty spot of Box Hill looms over the country town of Dorking but ramblers arriving by train aiming for a stimulating climb usually stop one station short in Westhumble (as you can for this walk). However, what is little known is that there is a very attractive route starting in either of the two railway stations, going up the southern flank. In fact this route seems to be the most comfortable way. This is a circular walk which also takes you down the famous “Whites”, through the villages of Westhumble and across the Denbies vineyards. This walk is just as good if you come by car (or bus) . There are several free car parks along the route and, although the walk goes past the railway stations, it quickly leads you back into magnificent open country. For refreshments, there's a wide choice of cafés and pubs, both on the top and in the village of Westhumble. The first part of this walk can be used as the start of a 16-mile Dorking- Guildford station-to-station walk along the North Downs Way using the Guildford-Church-On-The-Hill walk at the western end.

  • The Thames European Eel Project Report
    The Thames European Eel Project Report November 2018 Estuaries & Wetlands Conservation Programme Zoological Society of London Regent's Park London, NW1 4RY [email protected] www.zsl.org/eels 1 Thames European Eel Project, Zoological Society of London Acknowledgements The European eel conservation activity undertaken in 2018 has been made possible thanks to generous funding from The City Bridge Trust, Disney Conservation Fund, Uniper and the European Maritime Fisheries Fund. We are very grateful for the help and support of Environment Agency staff and, in particular, Darryl Clifton-Dey. We would also like to express thanks to the eel monitoring site coordinators and, of course, all the volunteer citizen scientists who have taken part in the monitoring activities. We are grateful to all our project partners involved within the monitoring programme. The 2018 partners are as follows: • Canal and River Trust; • Environment Agency; • Friends of the River Crane Environment; • Ham United; • Historic Royal Palaces; • Kingston University; • Medway Valley Countryside Partnership; • National Trust; • North West Kent Countryside Partnership; • Thames Anglers Conservancy; • Thames Water; • South East Rivers Trust; • Surrey Wildlife Trust; and • Wandle Heritage. Contact: Joe Pecorelli, Project Manager: [email protected]. 2 Thames European Eel Project, Zoological Society of London Executive Summary • The numbers of glass eels arriving each year, termed glass eel recruitment, has decreased by over 90% in the North Sea compared to the 1960-1979 average (ICES, 2016). In 2008, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) classified the European eel as Critically Endangered. • In response to this reported decline, in 2005 ZSL established a monitoring project to determine the recruitment of elvers (juvenile eels) into the River Thames catchment and found a similar reduction.

  • Derby Day, 1949
    Derby Day, 1949 JDB, August 2013 Neither this nor its companion piece “Wimbledon, 1951-53” lays claim to any particular literary or other merit; they are merely pieces of first-hand reportage which may perhaps be of interest to future transport historians. In 1948, we moved to north Surrey, and a friend introduced me to the delights of collecting bus numbers. We lived fairly close to the A24 road, which in those days took the 93 bus route (which then ran from Putney Bridge alternately to North Cheam and Epsom, with an extension to Dorking on summer Sundays), and also the 712/713 Green Line coach routes (from Dorking right across London to St Albans, Luton, or Dunstable). The 93 was run mostly by D class buses of the D182 to D281 batch from Sutton garage (a post-war batch taking advantage of some relaxation of wartime “utility” restrictions), though there were some RT buses from Putney Bridge garage (an immediately pre-war design which developed into the standard bus of the period 1947-1958); the Green Lines were mainly single-decker T coaches of the immediately pre-war period, though there were some TF coaches, also pre-war, which foreshadowed and may even have pioneered modern single-decker designs with a flat engine under the floor. But all this was routine, and the procession on Derby Day, 1949, was a different matter. On Derby Day, London Transport ran (and may still run) a special service from Morden station (the southern terminus of the Underground Northern Line) up to Epsom Downs, and every spare bus that was available was assigned to it.

The common-sense answer is "because we are English". Old English place-names traditionally have been used as proof that we are racially Anglo-Saxon, but this truth requires re-examination. I have submitted a paper to the English Place-Name Society (Old English Place-Names as a Class-Based Phenomenon: The Case of-ingas , Smith, publication not yet agreed), challenging the conventional wisdom. I briefly here sketch the wider implications for Surrey archaeology. Modern language theory (Janson; Sims-Williams) recognises that the language a people speak says nothing about their race. In my paper I put forward a double paradigm (on paradigms see Clarke): that Surrey's population remained in the majority unchanged between the late Roman Empire and late "Anglo-Saxon" times, but that Old English was adopted gradually throughout this lengthy period.
