Looking across to woodland alongside London Road, North Cheam
The land along the east side of London Road between Wordsworth Drive and Nonsuch Park was held for possible widening of the A24 but this proposal was dropped. Maps from the second half of the 19th century show London Road as consisting of wide verges with the actual roadway in between. This was a relic of the Enclosues when roads were far wider than they subsequently needed to be before the days of the turnpikes. Roads that carried considerable through traffic like this one had to be wide enough to allow for detours around the boggy morass that usually developed in the winter.
Part of the eastern verge is now this woodland. This is the view across Wickham Avenue with London Road on the left.
