Merstham Tunnel observatory This was built as a surveying platform to facilitate the setting out of the railway tunnel and its construction shafts. The Engineer's report to the board of the London and Brighton Railway dated 8th August 1838 has "The observatory will be completed in a few days, when the tunnel shafts will be immediately set out." The tunnel opened in 1841. Its air vents are quite unlike this tower, much squatter - see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5032250">TQ2854 : Merstham Tunnel air shaft</a>.

Looking towards Farthing Downs This view is from a field next to Drive Road which is actually a footpath here. This field is part of the Corporation of London owned land but is not part of Farthing Downs which is beyond the second field in the distance. This remote-looking countryside is actually in the London Borough of Croydon.

An uninviting footpath This view is from Brighton Road which may be why there is so much rubbish and litter on this side of the stile. Added to that is the fact that the stile is broken so one risks life and limb climbing over it. If you do make progress you should eventually end up at Starrock Lane in Chipstead.

Crossing two railway lines This is Netherne Drive leading away from Brighton Road. The nearer bridge is over the original Brighton Line, opened in two stages in 1841. The bridge beyond is over the so-called Quarry Line, built by the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway as an avoiding line between Coulsdon North and Earlswood and which is still used by fast trains avoiding Redhill. It was opened on 8th November 1899. The two actually cross over immediately north of here.
