Rushett Common alongside Leatherhead Road
Travelling along the very busy Leatherhead Road, one has the impression that woodland is either side when in fact an agricultural landscape is just beyond the trees on either side. Rushett Common has existed much in its present shape since the beginning of the 19th century, except that it stretched further north than at present towards Hook. The Common is now mostly covered by mature oak woodland.
The First Edition Ordnance Survey Map of 1866 shows Rushett Common with the same boundaries as today but showed that it was mostly rough pasture. The main route from Leatherhead and the Mickleham Gap to Kingston and its market lay along Leatherhead Road. Sheep and cattle would have been driven along it to market, stopping on the way to graze on the pasture of Rushett Common beside the trackway.
This view looks towards Malden Rushett and the traffic lights at the crossroads with the B280.
