The Bread and Cheese Hill on the A13, Benfleet
This is just the lower slopes of the hill. Just beyond the bend at the top it steepens considerably to the Hadleigh plateau. The clearway facilitates the slow-moving vehicles on the hill. There is another photo of this hill at Image around eighteen months later, following roadworks.

New Year in Coombe Wood
A dusting of snow in Coombe Wood, this area of Thundersley Woods, managed by Castlepoint Council, was granted “Village Green” status in 2007 so is now preserved as a permanent open access area.

The Bread and Cheese Hill on the A13
This is the same viewpoint as Image, but taken some eighteen months later. During this time there have been extensive roadworks along the A13 with some widening. The pavements have been considerably improved, but the road surface has not. Popular opinion is that this is all to do with the Mountain Biking event for the 2012 Olympics. Road access to this site, in the Hadleigh Castle Country Park, would have to pass along here.

Aerial view of Coombe Wood and plotlands to the south, Benfleet
This photo shows some nice autumnal colours in October 1987. Coombe Wood is the woodland in the upper third of the photo. The road below it is the A13 (London Road) and the road to the right is Rhoda Road North (unmade). Much of the land below this is well-wooded plotland, mostly secondary woodland, though there are one or two patches thought to be ancient.

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.

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.

Aerial view of Coombe Wood, Benfleet
Coombe Wood is an area of ancient and secondary woodland lying north of the A13 in Benfleet. The A13 (London Road) is just visible running from just above centre-left, then slightly upwards to the right. The woodland just above-left of centre is elevated and forms a small hilltop within the wood. There is an underlying cap of Bagshot sands rather than the Claygate beds underlying other parts. The area to the upper left of this hill (south of the A13) comprises plotland. The roads in the lower left are Thundersley Grove (lower left) and Coombewood Drive (lower centre).
