Looking North from Nutfield Station

South Nutfield is a village south of Nutfield in the Tandridge district of Surrey. It is larger than its older neighbour. The village has grown up around the railway station on the Redhill to Tonbridge line.

Coopers Hill Road

Nutfield. The railway, which maintains a remarkably straight course between Redhill and Tonbridge, goes over the road and the M23 motorway goes over both. A mobile phone base station can be seen.

The Maltings

at Henhaw Farm, Cooper's Hill road, Nutfield. The building has a date stone showing 1895. It is now residential accommodation.

from bridge in Outwood Lane

Unlikely though it may seem this, the Redhill to Tonbridge Line Link

, was part of the first rail route from London to Dover. The planners were not interested in serving the settlements en route so it takes a remarkably straight route. The Bletchingley Tunnel can be seen in the background - see TQ3348 : Air shaft of Bletchingley Tunnel.

Is it a boat? Is it a plane?

At the edge of Redhill Aerodrome. What on earth is a canal narrow boat doing here? The nearest navigable water is probably the River Wey at SU9844 : Farncombe Boathouse.

Air shaft of Bletchingley Tunnel

When the Bletchingley railway tunnel Link

was made in the 1830s trains were steam powered and slow by today's standards. Although the tunnel is just over a kilometre long, eleven air shafts were provided to vent the smoke. This is Shaft No. 2. The tunnel can be seen in TQ3248 : from bridge in Outwood Lane.

Outwood Lane, Surrey

Outwood Lane is not a classified road, but it sees plenty of use as it connects the picture-book village of Outwood with the A25. It is seen here looking north in a quiet moment.

Bridleway alongside an oak wood, Surrey

This lane is the western limb of a tangle of bridleways that straggle across country for many miles north and east of the village of Outwood. This western section probably sees less use by riders than the main network, as it debouches onto the rather busy Outwood Lane, a motor road where, sadly, not all drivers show proper courtesy to equestrians.

Grounds of Harewood House, Surrey

The usually lush green parkland is brown and parched after record July temperatures and very little rain.

North Lodge, Harewood House, Surrey

Many country-house lodges were built in very elaborate and decorative styles, but this one is much more utilitarian. It lies on the east side of the road connecting Outwood village with the A25.
