Woldingham water tower Above the door is written ESW Co 1931 - the East Surrey Water Company now forms part of the larger Sutton and East Surrey Water Company. Old 1 inch maps point to this being the highest point on the North Downs, at (pre metric!) 882 feet (as opposed to the trig point in the next square to the east which until recently was normally claimed as the highest point - see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/788400">TQ3955 : Botley Hill trig point</a> for discussion), so presumably there is no problem with water pressure in Woldingham!
