Milton Street in the village of Westcott, near Dorking. Milton Brook flows alongside, to the left.

Former walled garden of Bury Hill. Bury Hill was a large mansion built by James Walter in 1753. In 1805 (or 1812 or 1815, depending on source) the house and a large part of the estate was bought by Robert Barclay, a Southwark Brewer, whose family remained there for almost 150 years. The house was occupied by the military in the Second World War. After the war it was converted to flats, but whilst this was happening, the centre part was destroyed by fire, although the outer parts survived and remain in residential use. The gardens of which this the wall, along with the former orangery/stable block in the background, date from the 18th Century and are grade II and grade II* listed respectively - see https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1229032 and https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1228824.

Land now used as grazing outside the kitchen garden wall (on the right) of Old Bury Hill House. In the foreground is a footbridge from Milton Street across Milton Brook (presumably little used, since the horses must be brought into the field by another route).
