Ashcombe School
Ashcombe School was formed in 1976 from the amalgamation of the former Mowbray Secondary Modern School for Girls, founded in 1953, and the co-educational Dorking County Grammar School, founded in 1931 and itself an amalgamation of two other schools elsewhere in Dorking.
The Ranmore Building, at the far end of the ones seen here, was the original home of the Dorking Grammar School.

Keppel Road
1950s development on part of the Denbies Estate. The original plan had been to extend the road by extending it back on itself north of here, to run north of Yew Tree Road along the edge of what is known as Ten Acre Field, but this was blocked by the planners in 1954. The intended route is now a public footpath.
The name of the road presumably commemorates Sonia Keppel, who in 1920 had married Roland Cubitt, later to become 3rd Baron Ashcombe, whose family seat was Denbies. Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, is their grandaughter.

Field of hay, south of Denbies vineyard
One crop which is likely to do well this year - after a cool spring and a July heatwave - is hay. Haymaking depends on dry, settled conditions, so the recent warm weather will have provided a first-rate opportunity. Submitting this image four days after taking it, I suspect that the scene will already have changed - as the field will have been mown in the meantime. In inland areas of south-east England, temperatures have reached 29C on each of the last three days.

Croft Avenue
Cul-de-sac off London Road. The road is first shown on the 1914 25" map with three houses; by the 1935 6" map a few more had appeared, but it is not until the 1962 1:1250 map is it shown as being fully developed, as here.
In the background is Box Hill.
