  • 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.

    5. Hampstead Ridge Key plan Description The Hampstead Ridge Natural Landscape Area extends north east from Ealing towards Finsbury and West Green in Tottenham, comprising areas of North Acton, Shepherd’s Bush, Paddington, Hampstead, Camden Town and Hornsey. A series of summits at Hanger Lane (65m AOD), Willesden Green Cemetery (55m AOD) and Parliament Hill (95m AOD) build the ridge, which is bordered by the Brent River to the north and the west, and the Grand Union Canal to the south. The dominant bedrock within the Landscape Area is London Clay.

The majority of the urban framework comprises Victorian terracing surrounding the conserved historic cores of Stonebridge, Willesden, Bowes Park and Camden which date from Saxon times and are recorded in the Domesday Book (1086). There is extensive industrial and modern residential development (most notably at Park Royal) along the main rail and road infrastructure. The principal open spaces extend across the summits of the ridge, with large parks at Wormwood Scrubs, Regents Park and Hampstead Heath and numerous cemeteries. The open space matrix is a combination of semi-natural woodland habitats, open grassland, scrub and linear corridors along railway lines and the Grand Union Canal. 50 London’s Natural Signatures: The London Landscape Framework / January 2011 Alan Baxter Natural Signature and natural landscape features Natural Signature: Hampstead Ridge – A mosaic of ancient woodland, scrub and acid grasslands along ridgetop summits with panoramic views.

It includes 682 buildings and sites known to be at risk from Tneglect, decay or inappropriate development - everything from an early 18th century church designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor, to a boathouse built during WWI on an island in the Thames. These are sites that need imagination and investment. In London the scale of this challenge has grown. There are 12 more assets on the Heritage at Risk Register this year compared to 2015. We also know that it’s becoming more expensive to repair many of our buildings at risk. In the face of these challenges we’re grateful for the help and support of all those who continue to champion our historic environment.
