Show Off on Bread & Cheese Hill
This is a view of the A13 Bread & Cheese Hill Thundersley. The hill rises 54m from the 30m contour line at TQ775844 to the 84m Spot Height at TQ788879 (about 1.5km in road distance). That's a long hill in Essex!. The hill got its name in the Edwardian era when motorcars on the way to Southend-on-Sea would boil over by the time they reached the brow of the hill. Chauffeurs would eat their bread and cheese lunch while the engines cooled. It was not long before a hostelry (which still survives) was opened to take advantage of the trade. There are no prizes for guessing its name!

Below the dam, Coombe Wood pond
Breach in the dam which is about 1-1.5m high. Judging by the depth of the outflow channel a lot of water goes through here on occasion.

The pond - Coombe Wood, Thundersley
Now reverting to swamp at its western end, this largish pond was formed by damming a scarp spring in this very steep-sided wood north of the A13 on Bread and Cheese Hill.

Aerial view of Coombe Wood and Thundersley Glen
The London Road (A13) runs left to right across the image. Coombe Wood lies just above this at the left and Thundersley Glen below it on the right. Hill Road runs from mid-centre bottom up towards the centre. Thundersley Park Road runs from left of centre-bottom up and curves round to join Hill Road. These two roads are unmade at the centre of the image (though they are mad at the bottom). Underhill Road runs parallel to the bottom at the right. Thundersley proper occupies much of the upper right.

Aerial view of woodland west of Thundersley Glen, Benfleet
This shows the woodland either side of Mount Road, an unmade road south of the A13 or London Road (which lies just off the photo, to the right). Much of the woodland in the centre of the photo is managed as a private nature reserve. These woodlands lie on higher ground, which slopes towards the lower ground to the top of the photo.
