Footpath near Chasemore Farm Footpath Esher 81/Leatherhead 600 near Chasemore Farm. The true line of the right of way passes through the paddock to the left (which, given the footpath was diverted out of the farm some while ago, suggests a lack of foresight). The stream, on the right, is the borough boundary between Elmbridge and Mole Valley — save that the boundary actually follows the old, meandering course of the stream which would twice have crossed this lower part of the field (this is why the footpath has two numbers).

Footpath 115 from Banks Common to Effingham Common What a difference a decade can make: <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4423266">TQ1156 : Footpath from Mornshill woods and Banks Common</a>. The footpath has been fenced in for some years, and neither the highway authority (which is responsible for the surface) nor the occupier (who is responsible for maintaining the hedge on the right of the path) appears to have done anything in that time. The consequence is that the path now is nearly impassable, and a narrow, muddy defile in winter.
