Tree in Beddington
Tree, or art form? Leaning over at a drunken angle, and blown by the prevailing wind, it will be interesting to see how this tree recovers from its recent pruning. The houses in Richmond Green appear in the background.

River Wandle at Richmond Green
The present name of the River Wandle did not develop until the end of the medieval period. Wandle seems to have been in use by the 16th century. One possible derivation is from the Teutonic word for water 'wandu'. Although the river is relatively short it has a steady fall over that distance. Because of its rapid flow it has never been important for navigation, but it has been a good source of power since its gradient was ideal for the construction of weirs and dams. In the early 18th century there were 68 water wheels on the Wandle, an average of one every 300 metres. In 1805 it was said that the Wandle was the hardest worked river in the world.
The Beddington branch of the Wandle emerges from a culvert when it crosses the boundary between the Boroughs of Croydon and Sutton. Here at Richmond Green, soon after leaving the culvert, the river is still in its infancy.
