Cottages at Ockley: a glimpse of Surrey as it once was? Surrey must have lost much of its rural character by 1900, as rail links with London turned much of the county into suburbs - and even outlying villages became City dormitories. It could be said that universal car ownership has almost completed the job. There cannot now be many places which offer a glimpse of Surrey as it was before cars and railways arrived, but this - to me - seems like one of them. These cottages stand on the west side of Ockley village green at some distance from the nearest made-up road. They are clearly timber-framed (the framing somewhat irregular) with a lot of brick infill. They could well be the 'Tanyard Cottages' referred to by Nairn and Pevsner in the Surrey volume of 'The Buildings of England'.

Well with disused pump, Vann Farm The hand worked pump has provision for two operators, one on each side, yet still has about a 2:1 reduction gearing, so the amount lifted on each stroke must have been quite large. There are two pistons.
