EPW043789 ENGLAND (1934). Molesey Road, Field Common and environs, Walton-on-Thames, from the south-west, 1934

Rydens Road

Tudor farmhouse,I think

The River Mole, meandering it's way from Cobham and Esher to the River Thames at East Molesey. It was straightened into one long (boring) channel in large parts during work in the 1970's/80's to alleviate serious flooding that occured in the Molesey area in 1968

Fieldcommon Farm, later known as Poopart's farm.

This is land that was also Molesey dump in the 1940's to 1970's, and which is now also Molesey Heath, skirting the River Mole.

I think this is 'West Molesey Farm', a large farmhouse which still remains to this day, along with a nearby barn that has been adapted for modern accomodation. Both can be seen from Walton Road, almost opposite the Howard Houses estate in West Molesey.

This land, after gravel extraction, became 'Molesey Dump' from the nineteen forties to seventies, and has now been beautifully reclaimed by Nature, with the help from local conservationists, and named Molesey Heath

Molesey Road it's old route pre-Queen Elizabeth Reservoir

Fieldcommon Lane, leading to Fieldcommon Farm,(later known as Poopart's Farm) also now leads to Camping site

Hurst Road (goes to Walton on Thames past MWB water works and reservoirs)

Church at Hampton, Middlesex, which can be seen from the Molesey side of the River Thames (just in foreground of church on photograph).

Hurst Park Race Course

This stream known locally as 'The Dead River' which eventually ran into The River Mole near Neilson's Playing Field, West Molesey.

The old Victorian Sewage works, West Molesey (obsolete after sewage was pumped and treated at Weylands treatment works, from 1961)This old pumping station could be heard over large area of Molesey with it's gentle tapping mechanism -I grew up with that sound as a child living in West Molesey, in the nineteen fifties.

this became Approach Road, West Molesey

St Peter's Church, West Molesey
