Around Ashtead Woods Road
Image: © Thomas Grant Taken: 9 May 2007
Pasture land, now occupied primarily by horses, surrounds one of a number of large houses that were built along Ashtead Woods Road in the late C19th/early C20th. The bank of trees beyond reveals the edge of Ashtead Common. Considering the location - on the northern edge of Ashtead, less than half a mile from the M25 and the border with Greater London - the scene is remarkably rural in character.
