The clock at Abinger Hammer is struck on the hour by "Jack the Hammer". The name Hammer comes from hammer ponds which were locally used in the medieval iron-making industry. The houses are typical Surrey tile-hung cottages, the one in the background is the Abinger Arms which ceased trading as a pub about 2012.
