New buildings at Frith Park. The original house was built 1856-68, and subsequently extended. It was used as a military hospital in the First World War and in the Second World War by the Canadian Infantry Brigade as their headquarters prior to D-Day. After the war the Kahn family, who had founded a chemical company in Frankfurt in 1908 and had transferred their business to South Wales in 1939 to escape Nazi persecution, moved their operations to Frith Park, trading as DEP Ltd, supplying specialist chemicals to the printing business. Over the years a large works was built alongside the mansion together with warehouses. The business relocated to Runcorn in 2014 and the site fell derelict. Alterations and damage to the mansion meant that it was beyond repair and it was demolished in 2016-7, with only the east façade being retained. The mansion itself was then rebuilt from scratch as an exclusive residential development, completed in 2019, with new build blocks replacing the works and other ancillary buildings relating to its previous use. It is two of these new blocks that is seen here, with the replacement mansion, including the retained façade, in the background.

Public bridleway Banstead 494 veers left to meet Tye Lane, ahead is public footpath Banstead 499 to Heath Farm at Headley.

Farmhouse with the left end dating originally from the 16th Century, subsequently refaced and extended. Grade II listed - see www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1240676.

The shelters are probably incidental as far as the chickens are concerned. Their proper house was to the left.

Entrance to Frith Park - see Image

Footpath FP499 in the valley in the background of Image, running through a wedge of woodland on the north side of Queen's Wood.

Frith Park lies behind the trees at the top of the field; public footpath Banstead 499 drops down the headland of the field, straight ahead, before climbing towards Frith Park through the woodland beyond the valley.
