  • Woodlands and Hedgerows
    London Borough of Croydon Habitat Action Plan Woodlands and Hedgerows “One impulse from a vernal wood may teach you more of man, of moral, evil and of good, than all the sagas can. (William Wordsworth) 1. Aims • To conserve and enhance Croydon’s Woodlands and hedgerows for the benefit of biodiversity and for both current and future generations of people. • To promote, maintain and improve the active involvement by all sections of the community in the enjoyment, use and conservation of Croydon’s woodlands and hedgerows 1 2. Introduction Woodlands and hedgerows are an important element in the natural environment of the Borough. They provide opportunities for recreation, health and well being, are a valued component of the landscape, an essential habitat for wildlife, provide employment, contribute to the supply of timber and are an effective means of absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Much woodland is identified as being ‘ancient woodland’ (that which has been in existence since at least 1600); they are described as `semi-natural’ because the woodlands have received past management. They represent the most important woodland habitats for wildlife, sometimes containing species of national rarity. The majority of woods are comprised of broad-leaved species, although some coniferous plantations exist. The Great Storm of 1987 had a widespread impact on trees and woodlands throughout the Borough; it also brought many benefits, including a profusion of deadwood habitats, the rebirth of woodland management and an increase in public involvement and interest to better manage Croydon’s woods for now and for future generations. 3. Current status Woodland is the second most extensive natural habitat found in London.

  • Hamsey Green Pond History
    Hamsey Green Pond history Hamsey Green Pond possibly existed in Neolithic times, as there is substantial evidence around the pond of Neolithic and Iron Age settlements. The pond was mentioned in the Elizabethan Manor Rolls for Sanderstead Manor, when it was referred to as "Wychemere" and has been in many boundary disputes dating as far back as the 13th Century. The position of the pond at the junction of two roads (similar to Sanderstead Pond) suggests that it was used as a watering hole for cattle. Hamsey Green Farm was situated on the west side of Limpsfield Road and, on the east side just behind the pond a wheel‐wright and undertaking business was established by James Bex before the Common became enclosed in 1866 to create pasture and arable fields. Both farmer and wheelwright would have used the pond for their water supplies. Cartwheels originally had metal tyres, which due to the uneven tracks and unmade roads would become loose with the friction. It was therefore customary at the end of the day to take the horse and cart through the water in order to swell the wood of the wheel beneath the tyre so that the two fitted properly together again. The 1930s brought the encroachment of suburbia resulting in the pond shrinking due to the lowering of the water table. It was probably not until the 1960s when the pond came under the control of Tandridge Borough Council that it was restored. Later in the 1990s the boundaries changed and the pond came under the control of Croydon Council.

  • Kingswood Way and Bridleway
    Kingswood Way and Bridleway 155 Robert Fairbrother Introduction Kingswood Way runs roughly south from Old Farleigh Road in Selsdon and heads towards Limpsfield Road in Hamsey Green. After a distance of just over a kilometre (about three quarters of a mile) it merges into Kingswood Lane, part of which is Bridleway 155, before arriving at Limpsfield Road. The total distance is about 2.5 km (1.5 miles). In the map shown on the left (from Google Maps) the bridleway is seen as a narrowing of the road between Kingswood Way and Kingswood Lane. The first part of Kingswood Way as far as the sharp bend in the road (just at the ‘K’ of Kingswood) consists of houses on both sides. The rest of Kingswood Way consists of housing to the east and Kings Wood itself to the west. The boundary between Sanderstead and Selsdon runs along Kingswood Way from the north through the sharp bend and along the bridleway into Kingswood Lane. So the wood lies in Sanderstead while the houses are in Selsdon. “Kingswood Way is an all-purpose highway not maintainable at public expense to a point in line with the southern boundary of No. 79. At this point it continues as Kingswood Lane, a public bridleway with the benefit of private vehicular rights, to the Croydon borough boundary and thence into Tandridge district where it becomes an all-purpose highway maintainable at the public expense” (Crossby B, 2016). The maintenance of Kingswood Way is the responsibility of the frontagers. The maintenance of the bridleway is the responsibility of the London Borough of Croydon.
