Ashby Avenue, CHESSINGTON, KT9 2BT

Bonesgate Open Space lies to the north of Castle Hill. The Bonesgate Stream rises at Malden Rushett in the far south of the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. In the early years of the 20th century the Bonesgate Stream was known as ‘The Rythe’ a name which is today attached to a totally different stream to the west of the Borough. The origin of the name ‘Bonesgate’ stems from the Old English Bone or Bonne which would have been a proper name, and gate meaning a gap in a wall, hence a gap in a wall belonging to Bonne. The name has nothing to do with plague pits. In this photograph, the Bonesgate Stream is within the trees on the left. Moor Lane is just ahead and the long distance path the Thames Down Link passes through Bonesgate Open Space. The Thames Down Link is a 15 mile official walking route linking the Thames Path at Kingston upon Thames and the North Downs Way at Box Hill & Westhumble station.
