A pretty little sketch which defies locating.https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/emilybrucehc2.jpegEmilyBruceHC2‘View From Headley Common’. This was the area to the west of Hammer Lane and north of Headley Road. It could just about be an impression of Long Gut valley looking north towards Farnham. Or perhaps she was on Ludshott?https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/emilybrucegray.jpegEmilyBruceGray‘In Grayshott’. Not a very helpful title! We think this might be somewhere towards the western end of the village, maybe the Ladygate area, looking down into Waggoners Wells with the South Downs in the distance. Some of Emily’s landscapes are more general than precise.https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/emilybrucewag.jpegEmilyBruceWagA wintery scene at Waggoners Wells.https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/kate-thirza-samuel-belton-1891.pngKate Thirza Samuel Belton 1891Levi's mum, Kate, on the right, with his sister Thirza on the left and his little brother Samuel. 1891.https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/levi-belton-graffiti.jpgLevi Belton GraffitiLevi Belton, naughty chap.https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/morey-family-1902-03.jpgMorey Family 1902 03Finally, some of the Moorey family in 1902/03. This is Harriett (nee Belton), wife of William. The two littl'uns are Kate (toddler) and Bessie (in arms). This is at the younger Mooreys' cottage at the top end of Stoney's Bottom, before they moved down to Broomsquires following Eliza's death in 1902. We think it was more or less on the site of modern Sunnyhill, with Apley House up behind. Jack Smith's book has a photo of Body and Nancy Hill in the same spot.https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/broom-squires-cottage-1978-80.jpgBroom Squires Cottage 1978 80Moving forward to 1978/80. The brooms are long gone and the mystery box on a post has disappeared too.https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/broom-squires-cottage-1914-18.jpgBroom Squires Cottage 1914 18Here photographed circa 1914/18. To the left, a heap of new brooms neatly stacked for despatch, with more handles and heads stacked all around. On the right there's a kennel which looks like it housed a sizeable pooch.https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/broomsquires-slide-barrow.jpgBroomsquires Slide BarrowAround to the right - a barrow, bench, bucket, bowl and washing on the line.2025-08-19T13:53:02+00:00weekly0.6https://grayshottheritage.com/index-to-archive/2024-09-26T16:10:08+00:00weekly0.6https://grayshottheritage.com/members-area/2024-04-04T11:10:04+00:00weekly0.6https://grayshottheritage.com/features/do-you-know/https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/nobbly-beech.jpgNobbly BeechTrees don't have to be ancient to be charismatic.This lavishly nobbly beech might only be a hundred or so years old, but it's delightful. If you take the last of our suggested walks at the end of the article, you'll find it next to the footpath at Cane's lower woodbank. https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/woodbanks.jpgWoodbanksThis map is from 1895. The medieval woodbanks have been highlighted in green. Almost all of them survive, except for the dotted portion at the very northern edge, which was largely knocked down when the meadow was made in the 1970's. The corresponding banks on the farms were lost when the old fields were levelled in the second part of the 19th century, but they were integral with those of the wood. The charcoal hearths discovered so far are marked with a red X. The cross-path between Waggoners and Applegarth is marked by CP in blue.https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/bull-lane.jpgBull LaneBeautiful. The top end of Bull Lane.https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/dead-hedge.jpgDead hedgeThese newly made dead hedges would have been familiar to medieval woodsmen. Scraggy brash was used to keep herbivores off new growth and to demarcate coppice coupes of different ages.https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/rot.jpgRot.... life goes on. For trees, anyway. The dead wood feeds countless other species, from microbes to birds, and nutrients get recycled into the soil.https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/crash.jpgCrashCrash! The gnarly old veterans guarding the woodbanks are nearing the end of their lifespan. Behind, the holly is advancing and ready to make life difficult for their replacements. It's always sad when one of them gets taken by the wind, but .... https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/coppice-hazel.jpgCoppice HazelAnd what it would have looked like - hazel coppice at the top of Bull Lane. This was last cut circa 2017, and is nearly ready for a crop of hurdle poles.https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/coppice-beech.jpgCoppice BeechAn incredible outgrown beech coppice, perhaps untouched for a century.https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/ram-pump.jpgOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAOne of the ram pumps, installed in the 1870s - 80s to supply fresh water up to Grayshott Hall.https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/timber-and-coppice-1772.jpgOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERARecorded in the sale of Keyne's (ie Cane's) estate in 1772 - timber and coppice wood worth £50.2024-02-25T15:51:11+00:00weekly0.6https://grayshottheritage.com/people/https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/warr-map-crop.jpgWarr Map CropTypical of the goods that Fanny sold to tourists, this map of the locality was cribbed from the Ordnance Survey, cheaply reproduced and presented with Fanny's brand on the cover.https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/warr-shop-marathon-1917.pngWarr Shop Marathon 1917Another view of the shop at Marathon, 1917. The sign says 'Royal Art Pottery Showrooms', for which the gallery was on the first floor. There's a display of little linens and lace in the glass cabinet outside. By now the main street has been tarmaced but there's still no continuous pavement so pedestrians just wander along the road.https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/warr-shop-marathon-crop.jpgWarr Shop Marathon CropOne of Fanny's shops, at Marathon, on the corner of Headley and Glen Roads. There's a horse-drawn omnibus outside, and across the road Coxhead and Welch have the traditional ironmonger's display of dustbins and brooms on their apron. The young lad standing in the gutter is giving the photographer a bit of a cocky glare. Probably circa 1910. The shop is nowadays Frankie's Fish and Chips, which at the time of writing has just been named as one of Britain's best chippies.https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/warr-shop-crossways-crop.jpgWarr Shop Crossways CropFanny's shops in Crossways Road. Note the sign board above the central one, exactly as per her paper bag. Here the road surface is unpaved, probably rammed chalk, and shops made their own little aprons outside. The state of the gutter in winter can be imagined. This is taken from a postcard, on the back of which was written 'I came here yesterday. The country is lovely'. Fanny's stock was aimed squarely at such tourists, looking for souvenirs and pastimes.https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/fanny-mallett-mariiage-1874.pngFanny Mallett Mariiage 1874Fanny and Thomas's neat and clerkly signatures, from their wedding register in 1874.https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/warr-tree.jpgWarr TreeFanny's extended family. James Allsop, her uncle by marriage, became a major figure in her life.https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/fanny-warrs-bag-c-1905.jpgFanny Warr's bag c 1905Never one to waste a promotional opportunity, Fanny printed her brown paper bags to entice customers towards yet more of her wares. This view, we think from the very early 1900s, shows her three shops in Crossways Road. Reading was very popular, many adults of that time having graduated from the village school as the first confidently literate generation of their family. Mudies was a commercial lending library which lent out books in return for modest subscription. They had two other outlets in Grayshott.https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/warr-ad-dec-1908.jpgWarr Ad Dec 1908Fanny's adverts from December 1908, promoting a considerably enlarged range of stock from 1905. Also, she had expanded into Hindhead, no doubt for closer proximity to its mansions and tourist hotels.https://grayshottheritage.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/stanley-bridge-surv-1866-1.jpgStanley Bridge Surv 1866Stanley Bridge, underlined in red.
