Crooke's Cottages, Ash Street, Ash, Surrey
The Bricklayer's Arms to the left was a brewery. It has since been demolished to make way for houses. The brewery had a field at the back to grow hops; there is now a school on the site. Crooke's Cottages were built as staff quarters for the hop pickers.

Former hop pickers' cottages in Ash Street
To the left of these cottages was a brewery. The brewery had a large field at the back to grow hops; it is now the site of Walsh Schools. In more recent history, the month saw a horrific attack by Hammas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Hamas_attack_on_Israel which has lead to a massive Israeli counter offensive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Israel%E2%80%93Hamas_war In the US there were protracted House Speaker elections https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_2023_Speaker_of_the_United_States_House_of_Representatives_election And in the UK there were some jaw dropping revelations at the Covid Enquiry https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67276394

Looking north-east in Ash Road
Here in Ash where I work there was a lot of mild weather in the first half of the month; but when half term came, as often happens, there was a lot more wind and rain. However, today it was mild enough for me to walk to the shops without a coat

Walsh Schools, Ash: October 2023
The school is named after The Rev Octavius Walsh. https://archive.org/details/alumnioxonienses04univuoft/page/1492/mode/2up Sadly he died in 1916. Departing this month were Manchester footballing greats Frannie Lee (2nd October 2023) and Bobby Charlton (21st); my absolute favourite cartoonist Tony Husband (18th); Coronation Street's Gordon Clegg and later Everton chairman (23rd) ; and finally, actor Matthew Perry, Chandler from Friends (28th).
