Description: | Two ladies relax on a bench at the edge of Ludshott Common. In the background we can see Wits End at the junction of Seymour Road and Grayshott Road.
This view shows the small section of the common that is actually in Headley parish. The boundary with Bramshott runs from about this point diagonally left towards the back of properties in Furze Hill Road. This triangular piece of Headley Common' was given to The National Trust by Ingham Alexander Whitaker in 1911 to commemorate the Coronation of George V.
The road, known locally as the Grayshott Straight' and now designated B3002, runs between Hindhead and Bordon. During the Second World War, army tanks were hidden under the trees to the right, crossing the road for their crews to practice military operations on the common. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Rights holder: | John Owen Smith | Subjects: | National Trust trees road heathland Alexander Ingham Whitaker | Temporal: | start=1910-01-01; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | John Owen Smith | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
