Stubbs Wood

Cooper’s Corner: postbox № TN14 209 This Victorian postbox is set into a pillar-like addition projecting from the frontage of a building which I think was once a pub: there is a 'PH' marked here on some large-scale maps and the Royal Mail's listing names this postbox as Frog & Bucket so I am assuming that is what the pub was called.

Goathurst Common Well Prior to the sinking of the well in 1901, villagers used water from rainwater storage tanks. When these ran dry, villagers had to walk down a steep hill to the springs south of Stubbs Woods, to collect their water. Piped water was brought to the area during the 1920s.

Stubbs Wood - Hanging Bank This view through Stubbs Wood, showing Bough Beech Reservoir in the distant valley, would not have been possible before the Great Storm of 1987. Many of the mature beech and other native trees were flattened overnight.

Henden Farm - Looking towards Toy's Hill Henden Farm, south of Ide Hill village must have started its history as a clearing in the forest made by a swineherd who came to pasture his pigs, perhaps a thousand years ago. Later it became a farm, part of the Manor of Sundridge, although it was soon an independent manor.

Henden Manor - Ide Hill In 1516 Henry VIII gave Henden to Sir Thomas Boleyn, father of the future Queen. The house which stands here now is sixteenth century, but much restored. The moat probably surrounded an earlier house, although it is not certain why a simple Manor house, far from the coast, should have required a moat.

Little Norman Street Farmhouse Ide Hill, Kent The farm buildings of this small farm have now been converted into housing. Little Norman Street is fortunate in having deeds which show that it has been an independent small-holding of under ten acres for at least three hundred years. Until 1900 it was described as "Brook, near Brook Place".
