LongDescription:
This cache is part of a series that I have placed within the Wanstead Park. They are all normal caches this one is a large Tupperware box with a green geocache sticker on top The overall theme is trees so just keep a look out for likely spots. This cache overlooks Perch pond and should be an easy find please take care when you find it to cover it back over again because this spot is popular with fishermen who probably have lots of time to have a look around Recommended parking is at N51.34.072 E000.03.210 Or if you have sat nav Wanstead park road and Exeter road junction. Another good parking place is Northumberland Avenue Wanstead N.51.33.896.....E.000.02.435.... Bus routes that pass Wanstead Park are 101 and 308

Perch Pond has an area of 2.23 hectares and maintains a fairly constant level of water, though on occasions when the Heronry Pond is full to capacity overflow water may pass directly into the Perch Pond by a pipe. The lake is used extensively during the summer months for fishing, which activity has resulted in much erosion of the banks and patches of bare earth can be seen at intervals. The carelessness of some anglers is regrettably the cause of litter, and problems to wildfowl caused by discarded line and hooks. A few small islands at the west end of the lake yield birches Betula pubescens and B. pubescens x pendula hybrids, alder Alnus glutinosa and various willows Salix spp. The other vegetation is largely Glyceria maxima and yellow flag Iris pseudacorus. Many of the Park's alder trees are to be found around this lake, particularly along the northern bank, or in the Dell, through which overflow water passes from the Perch Pond to the Ornamental Water.PLEASE CHECK OUT THE BONUS CACHE DETAILS WAYPOINT GCM93T

LongDescription:
The A3, known as the Portsmouth Road for much of its length, is a dual carriageway, or expressway, which follows the historic route between London and Portsmouth passing close to Kingston upon Thames, Guildford, Haslemere and Petersfield. For much of its 67-mile (108 km) length, it is classified as a trunk road and, apart from a section within the London conurbation and a short section where the Hindhead Tunnel is currently being built, is dual carriageway. At its southerly end, the original road has been replaced by the A3(M), but the designation A3 is still used to identify the old road.
The road was once the haunt of highwaymen. For example, the legendary Jerry Abershawe terrorised the area around Kingston and led a gang based at the Bald Faced Stag Inn on the Portsmouth Road. Another particularly dangerous location was in the vicinity of the Devil's Punch Bowl, Hindhead, about 8 miles (13 km) south-west of Guildford.

Today there is a traffic black spot during peak hours going northbound before the Hook underpass. The road reduces from three lanes to two in the underpass. The speed limit at this point reduces from 70 miles per hour (110 km/h) to 50 miles per hour (80 km/h), with the first of many speed enforcement cameras situated before the road bears to the right and under the bridge . The traffic from the A309 also joins just before the underpass. This section is often busy from about 7:50am to 8:30am and from 5:15pm to 5:50pm.

The Kingston By-pass becomes the Esher By-pass at the A3's junction with the A309.


You will be very close to a busy road so please make sure that children are very well supervised.

<p>Another in the ever expanding Church Micro Series, started by Sadexploration.</p>
<p>I haven’t found any information about the current building, but there is some interesting history of the Methodist Church in Bromley.</p>
<p>Bromley was involved in the Wesleyan movement from an early date. John Wesley visited the area several times in 1772-83, preaching to a society at Widmore. In 1776 a chapel was opened at Chislehurst Green Widmore Rd, which was replaced in 1888 by one at Tylney Rd.</p>
<p>The first chapel in Bromley, 'Zion', built in 1826 stood in the upper High Street. The rapid growth of Bromley's population soon made this provision for worship inadequate.</p>
<p>Zion closed in 1872 and two years afterwards a new church was opened in the lower High Street. At Bromley North a Wesleyan mission operated from 1881, initially in a cottage in the Farwig area, then in the 'Great Tent' in Station Road from 1902-5 until Central Hall, London Road was opened in April 1905.</p>
<p>The latter was destroyed in the 1939-45 war and the church in High Street was demolished 1964. Instead a new church was erected in Holwood Road to serve both congregations, (Bromley Methodist becoming the Central Methodist Church on 1 January 1965), and opened July 1965. The Tylney Road congregation joined in September 1975 after the closure of their chapel.</p>
<p>Holwood Road was demolished to allow the building of The Glades, so I would assume this church was built in the early 1990s.</p>
<p>I would suggest a quick visit to College Green, the parkland just opposite the church and alongside the cache location. This small green area in the heart of Bromley has a number of areas set out for conservation, including a large home for insects. I had thought of placing the cache somewhere in this area, but thought that plastic containers and conservation areas are not ideal companions.</p>

Hints: St Michael is looking after this cache
LongDescription:
In the 19th century a great revival in the Church of England was led by John Keble, John Henry Newman and Edward Bouverie Pusey. The beginning is generally acknowledged to have been in Oxford on Sunday, 14th July 1833, when John Keble preached a sermon on’ National apostasy’ – and against the general decline of the English Church. Thus initiated, the Oxford Movement stressed the Church’s historic continuity with Catholic Christianity and the importance of the sacraments. This doctrine was spread by means of a series of pamphlets, ‘Tracts for the Times’, which earned the followers of the movement the name ‘Tractarians’.<br />
<br />
In Croydon, the founding of the Parish of St Michael and all Angels served two purposes. There was a need for an additional church to accommodate a growing population and there was also the spiritual need to establish a firm centre of Catholic revival in the area.<br />
<br />
Against opposition from established incumbents, five enthusiastic laymen, F P Barraud, Charles Newton, H Hammond Parker, Frederick Lambert and George Miller gained permission from the sympathetic Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Tait, to found a new parish on condition that they could raise an endowment of £2,000. They succeeded and on 28th July 1871 they became the first Trustees of the Parish. They swiftly and wisely appointed the Rev Richard Hoare [at the time assistant priest at St Saviour’s, Croydon] to be the first Vicar. He stayed for 47 years<br />

This is a highly trafficked and pedestrian area, especially during business hours but the cache should be easy enough to retrieve stealthily - please do exercise caution though. Also, please take care when replacing the container as I haven't gotten around to buying stronger magnets yet!<br />
<br />
I took a number of readings but as with all urban caches they did not seem all that accurate, so I have tried to calculate an average. The target should be obvious when you get there!<br />

The canal was drained and became part of the route of the <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_%26_Croydon_Railway" title="London &amp; Croydon Railway" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(11, 0, 128);background:none;">London &amp; Croydon Railway</a>, opening on 5 June 1839.<sup><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Croydon_station#cite_note-Butt-6" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(11, 0, 128);white-space:nowrap;background:none;">[6]</a></sup> In 1845 the L&amp;C inaugurated the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_railway" title="Atmospheric railway" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(11, 0, 128);background:none;">atmospheric system of propulsion</a>; it worked for about a year but was not successful. The station was originally named Croydon; in April 1851 it became West Croydon.<sup><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Croydon_station#cite_note-Butt-6" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(11, 0, 128);white-space:nowrap;background:none;">[6]</a></sup></p>
<p>The canal basin was served by a short private branch from the terminus of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrey_Iron_Railway" title="Surrey Iron Railway" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(11, 0, 128);background:none;">Surrey Iron Railway</a> (SIR) at Pitlake. From 1855 the station was the terminus of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Croydon_to_Wimbledon_Line" title="West Croydon to Wimbledon Line" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(11, 0, 128);background:none;">West Croydon to Wimbledon Line</a>, which followed much of the route of the SIR. This line closed on 31 May 1997, to be replaced by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tramlink" title="Tramlink" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(11, 0, 128);background:none;">Tramlink</a>. Platform 2, the terminal bay for the Wimbledon line, was trackless until 2008. Very little remains of this platform apart from a little section at the western end, as most of it was filled in to extend platform 3 to allow trains to stop closer to the stairs.</p>
<p>A sad event occurred here in 1912 when the composer <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Coleridge-Taylor" title="Samuel Coleridge-Taylor" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(11, 0, 128);background:none;">Samuel Coleridge-Taylor</a> (1875–1912), resident of Croydon, collapsed from overwork and pneumonia, dying a few days later.</p>
<p>During the 1930s the station saw major alterations and reconstruction. A new ticket office was built on London Road. The original station buildings, ticket office and entrance in Station Road were closed and are still standing, converted to a shop.</p>

LongDescription:
An easy urban cache and dash located on a very busy main road so you will need a lot of stealth! There is a limited number of parking spaces very close but may be taken during the day as you will be very near to a hospital.


Cache is pushchair and wheelchair friendly although wheelchair cachers may need someone to retrieve the cache for them. And as always with a busy road please make sure that any children are supervised.


You are looking for a key safe and will need to bring a pen or pencil to sign the log.

Happy hunting!

If you choose to enjoy the lovely Oxleas meadows with the amazing surrounding wood lands, then you will find easy access via Kenilworth gardens then Castle wood lane which is at the top of Dover road. Access is 24 hours although the car park closes at 8 pm. Or for a cache'n'dash you can park on the road next to the cache. 
JOKE: I've always had an over-active imagination.Like that time I found myself drowning in an ocean of Tango - it took me a while to work out it was just a Fanta sea

LongDescription:
Not quite as splendid as the old stadium but impressive nevertheless. I took a tour of the stadium recently and found the place efficient but strangely souless. 
My father enjoys sitting on nearby benches looking at the view. This hill is also ideal to fly kites as it is invariably breezy.
Have lived bordering the main entrance of this park all my life. Whilst it doesn't contain any flower beds, it has lovely hills, perfect for skateboarding and wonderful in the winter with a covering of snow. There is also a popular cafe and some play areas for the geokids. Please note that the Cache is not in the circular seating; this is a memorial so please respect it and do not go hunting around in its vicinity.
PLEASE replace the container exactly in the position from which it was found. As this is a new container and an updated listing, I'm happy to provide a small FTF prize. I will contact the person via email and give them the location of their hidden prize once I have verified the log has been signed. Quite fitting really that this Cache is being relisted on the eve of the start of the Premier League season. Up the Spurs!

ShortDescription:
Lovely easy Find. Would suit first time geocachers as well as the more experienced wishing to up their find totals. Cache WAS a medium sized clip-box but was stolen 3 times, so is NOW a nano/micro sized container, with no space for trackables or similar items. You will need your own writing implement to sign the log and possible some tweezers. Congrats to Debs54 who was the FTF this new container/hide.

Hints:
Not exactly goal posts... Search under diagonal.  Lightening may illuminate this hide (bit or a cryptic hint that one.)

<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Walpole Park</strong> is a municipal urban public open space run by Ealing Borough Council, and its main entrance is situated in Mattock Lane, Ealing. The land for the park and Pitzhanger Manor itself, was acquired by the council in 1899 from Sir Spencer Walpole. The sum paid was £40,000. It was opened to the public for the first time on 1 May 1901<strong>.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">'<strong>Cono de pino en Walpole park</strong>' is part of the '<strong>wood you believe it</strong>' series in and around Hanwell and Ealing that focus on providing both interesting and unique custom caches that aren't your run of the mill design.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The cache is situated in a very busy area in Ealing so stealth should be used when retrieving the piece and signing the log book. Please ensure you replace the cache in exactly the same place as you found it to ensure easy detection for the next player, please do this away from prying eyes!</p>

<p> </p>
<p><strong>St Matthias Church</strong> is an Anglican church in Richmond, London. Built in the Victorian Gothic style in 1857, and described as "the grandest church in Richmond", it has been designated a Grade II listed building. The architect was George Gilbert Scott.</p>
<p><span style="line-height:1.6;">St Matthias, whose tall (195ft)</span><span style="line-height:1.6;"> spire is a familiar landmark for miles around is at the corner of Friars Stile Road and Kings Road as well as Church Road.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height:1.6;">The St. Matthias Centre is a busy community hub and there is a Coffee Bar which is open every weekday morning during term time. Many diverse groups run from the premises. There are occasional trips up the tower, which, although quite a climb affords incredible views over London. If you go to the front of the church and look up you can see where a lot of restoration work has been done recently. If you look carefully either side of the rose window you can see two carved heads - and man on the left and woman on the right - the man is the architect responsible for the restoration and the lady is his wife.</span></p>
If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first at churchmicro@gmail.com so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication. There is also a Church Micro Stats &amp; Information page found via the Bookmark list

<p>This is a small tupperware box in a camo bag. It will hold small TBs and swaps. There is a pencil in the cache, it isn't a swap, please leave it!!</p>
<p>Placed in the church grounds with kind permission of the Vicar of St Matthias Church, Rev David Gardiner. The co ords might be a bit out due to the built up area, but should still be an easy find!

LongDescription:
This cache can be discovered individually or in conjunction with Not So SideTracked and Mitcham Junction. The footpath can be muddy in a few places particularly at this end and there is one section which has recently been repaired - about a 20metre section which is not unlike walking on brighton beach! There is also a bridge to cross as you approach the Mitcham Junction end.
Please note that although the cache appears very close to the station you need to join the footpath either at Beddington Park or at the footbridge opposite Hackbridge Road to the north of the station which has narrow access.
Birdwatchers may want to bring their binoculars as there have been some interesting sightings on the lake incl. buzzards and red kites !
The cache is similar to a 35mm filmcan but slightly longer.

UPDATE: Mitcham Junction Side Tracked has been archived but there are some golf related caches to the north by Wimbledonian which link the path to Mitcham junction and/or beddington lane tram stop.

ShortDescription:
About a 5 minute walk from Hackbridge station - a bit longer if you access via Beddington Park. This cache has been placed along a very pleasant footpath that links to Mitcham Junction where there is another sidetracked cache. Both stations are on the same line between Victoria and Sutton. 
There is a third cache - Not So SideTracked about half way between.

<strong>LEE NAVIGATION</strong>
<p>The River Lee Navigation is a canalised river incorporating the River Lee (also sometimes spelt River Lea). The river runs from Hertford Castle Weir to Bow Creek/Limehouse Basin, where it meets the River Thames. Historically the river was used to transport goods from Hertfordshire to London, particularly grain. Today the area forms part of the Lee Valley Regional Park, Tottenham Marshes, Walthamstow Marshes and runs parallel to the London 2012 Olympic Park. Extremely popular with walkers, cyclists and fishers, the pathways offer a great opportunity to see an abundance of wildlife and some of the rather beautiful and quirky barges moored at different points along the river. This is also a great walk (or cycle – the path forms part of the National cycle network) if you are looking to avoid tramping through tons of pre and post winter mud as the paths are mostly gravel and really well looked after. Some areas along the walk are nicer than others so be prepared...this is London and as fantastic as it is, some spots aren't so pretty. That said, most are and some are rather stunning and more than make up for their less attractive cousins!</p>

The Church of St George the Martyr is located in Shirley, Croydon.<br />
<br />
The area around Shirley has a history dating back hundreds of years. The name "Shirley" is thought to be derived from two Anglo-Saxon words - "Scyr" meaning "boundary" and "leaz" meaning district or woody pasture. Bronze Age tools have been found in the area dating back to about 800BC. The area until the early twentieth century was a heavily wooded area, used mainly for agriculture. The road names of the area bear this out - The Glade, Orchard Avenue, Aldersmead etc.<br />
<br />
In August 1937 the first St Georges church was completed. The building is now the church hall, and was dedicated on October 14th, 1937 by the Archbishop of Canterbury. In 1939 the church was promised £10,800 from the sale of the demolished church of All Hallows in Lombard St, London, to build a new church to replace the current temporary one. However World War 2 started soon after this, and the plans were shelved. After the war, Rev. Willis laboured long and hard to raise the money for the new church, but it wasn't until 1951 that the contracts were finally signed. On November 24th 1951, the first turf was cut by the Archdeacon of Croydon and work began. It was completed in August 1952, with the cross on top of the church being dedicated on August 3rd. On November 15th 1952, the Archbishop dedicated the new church, saying "I have rarely come to a new church to find it at once so full of the spirit and worship." The total cost of the church (and new vicarage) was £23,000. The second building phase, which added the Lady Chapel, choir stalls, kitchen and so on, was eventually completed in 1967. The cache is a green nano, very close to the church grounds, but on the public highway, please bring your own pen.<br />

<p>Another in the ever expanding Church Micro Series, started by Sadexploration.</p>
<p>Bromley St Peter and St Paul, also known as Bromley Parish Church, is located in the centre of the town close to Market Square. The pre-World War II church was built in the Perpendicular style with a square embattled tower having a turret at one of the angles. That church was virtually demolished, with the exception of the tower, by a bomb on the night of 16 April 1941.</p>
<p>The Queen (Princess Elizabeth at the time) laid the foundation stone of the new church on 13 October 1949. Eight years later, the last phase of rebuilding was complete and on 14 December 1957 the new church was consecrated by the Bishop of Rochester, Christopher Maude Chavasse. The present church incorporates the medieval tower and much of the flint and fragments of the original stone building.</p>
<p>Several of the modern windows were designed by Margaret Edith Rope, a prolific Arts and Crafts stained glass artist.</p>
<p>The organ, built in 1991 by J. W. Walker &amp; Sons Ltd, was made and first assembled in Walker’s workshops at Brandon, before being dismantled and installed in the church - it weighs approximately 12 tons. The organ cases, gallery woodwork and carved pipeshades were designed by David Graebe.</p>

Could be a great opportunity for a nice dog walk or day out with the kids. Path leads along family friendly pathways so why not make a day out of it?</p>

<p>Not many shops close by but is on a bus route so easy to reach anything required.</p>

<p>This Cache runs in line with many others so you could really have a great day Geocaching hopefully with many finds.</p>

<p>While the path is totally wheelchair accessible but you may need some help retrieving the actual cache. </p>

<p>The cache is a small clear and black magnetic container, just off the public path. The cache is equipped with a small logbook and a pencil, though as I will be doing maintenance whenever needed I can't guarantee it being there so it may be wise to bring a pencil just incase. Although the cache only contains the above it is large enough for small items to trade and would easily fit a trackable or two.</p>

<p>Do be warned this Cache is in view of some flats so you can be overlooked. Ultimate stealth maybe required.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Don't forget to log your visit on here and in the paper in the cache, happy geocaching!</p>

The New River is a man-made waterway, that was created in 1613, to provide fresh water for London from the River Lee. It still provides that purpose today. It starts near Ware in Hertfordshire and ends in Stoke Newington, 20 miles away.
This is a magnetic film canister. The area has acquired rubbish since placement so we have moved it away from where the rubbish under the bridge is.
The coords were taken with a yellow etrex but hopefully should be accurate enough. Will update them if needs be.

This cache is in the far corner of the park and overlooks Woodford golf course so watch out for the odd golfer. There is a small yellow building to look out for and it’s not far from there. You will also see the river from this cache and at different time of year might make this cache more challenging only due to the fact that it can get muddy round here. This cache has been made extra water proof just in case.

LongDescription:
<p>A parish pump stood in the market square adjacent to the Market Hall for many years. The pump was feed with water from an underground stream that still surfaces in the Church House Gardens. However, at the time of the building of the old Town Hall in 1863, the original pump was removed. The present pump (of interesting Victorian design) was put up as a replacement on a new site in the Market Square sometime in the 1860s. The replacement pump was also removed when the old Town Hall was demolished in 1933 to make way for the Market Square development. It was re-erected in Church House Gardens where it stood for fifty years before being restored..</p>
<p>To find this cache, you need to answer the following questions. All the answers can be found in the Mural painted on the wall behind the Bromley Town Pump. The cache is a short walk away.</p>
<strong>The cache is at N51 24.ABC E000 01.DEF<br /></strong><br />

<b><u>Present</u></b>
<p>Brentford railway station (formerly Brentford Central) is in the London Borough of Hounslow, in west London, and is in Travelcard Zone 4. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by South West Trains. It is the main stop used by rail passengers for Griffin Park, home of Brentford F.C. The ground is very near the station.</p>
<p><b><u>Past</u></b></p>
<p>Brentford station on the London and South Western Railway’s loop line to Hounslow from Waterloo opened in 1849. This did lead to a great loss of business for those servicing the coaches, horses and passengers but as Brentford had other businesses and industries the effect on the town was not as dire as in Hounslow which had been more dependent upon the coaching trade.</p>
<p>Brunel’s design of the dock at Brentford meant that in 1859 goods could be transferred from the river to the railway at Brentford Dock and passengers could then travel from the nearby GWR Brentford Town station to Southall to join the main GWR line from Paddington to Reading. Part of this spur remains to the north of the A4. More details can be found <a href="http://railways-of-britain.com/Brentford.html" target="_blank">here.</a></p>

<p>Another in the ever expanding Church Micro Series, started by Sadexploration.</p>
<p>The origins of the church lie in the evangelical revival following John Wesley’s preaching across the country. The market town of Bromley invited London ministers to preach and the Bethel Chapel was started in 1788, later becoming Bromley Congregational Church and, in 1972, Bromley United Reformed Church.</p>
<p>In 1989 the United Reformed Church was rebuilt in Widmore Road, as the old site was swallowed by the Glades shopping centre. The new building is modern and bright, large and very adaptable. It is a busy building at the heart of the town, visited by over a thousand people every week with a café and several meeting rooms.</p>

Tally Ho

In 1825 the junction of the new Regents Park - Finchley turnpike (Ballards Lane) and the older Great North Road became known as Tally Ho Corner after, it is said, a stage coach company who had stables close by. In the 1830s there were few houses but there was a new pub, the Torrington, and a new chapel, "Cottagers Chapel", converted from the stables of Orchard Cottage in 1837. These two institutions were the foundation of the North End as a settlement. In 1839 North Finchley had at least five retailing outlets (including a female blacksmith, Elizabeth Humphreys), centred around Lodge Lane rather than on the High Road.

Cyclists have traditionly meet at Tally Ho Corner for rides(see Tally Ho sign) and today Barnet Cyclists often meet at Tally Ho Corner so if you are looking here for the cache at 9.30 on a Sunday you might see me with 20 or so other cyclist ready to ride off into the Country side and may be find a cache on the way!

I am aware that there is a noisy pub at one of Tally Ho Corner and in the middle there are some  metal seats where informal drinking sessions take place so you would not  want to look under those  benches. The cache is placed away from those areas. Just read the clue carefully and watch the traffic though you should be in no danger from traffic at ground zero!

The cache is now a black nano.

Watch out for traffic wardens!!!!!

This series is a joint effort by Psylola and Grandflutterby, designed for geo grown-up’s, geo-kids and geo-dogs.
 The caches are placed along the River Shuttle, which is a small tributary of the River Cray. All caches are placed within a 10 minute walk from roads to allow for park and grabs and all are on public land, on or adjacent to the River Shuttle so available 24hrs. Dog walkers are welcome in all areas and if the kids need entertaining there are play parks along the way and the river is shallow, clean and safe for a paddle in many places – or to cool a hot geocacher’s feet.
 We will eventually place caches along the whole river which starts in Avery Hill Park and joins the River Cray at Hall Place in Bexley. We hope you enjoy the series. Happy hunting!!This series is a joint effort by Psylola and Grandflutterby, designed for geo grown-up’s, geo-kids and geo-dogs.

<h1 style="text-align:center;">  <u><strong>Walpole History</strong></u></h1>
<p>Walpole Park is named after Sir Spencer Walpole, who sold it to Ealing UDC in 1899. The 12-hectare Grade II park in West London, which is included in the English Heritage Register of parks and gardens of special historic interest, contains an ornamental bridge remodelled to a design by Soane, a pond on whose banks he sat and fished with his friend Turner the painter, a rose garden and a boating lake.</p>
<p>The original house and grounds were bought and renovated by John Soane, the celebrated architect, in 1800. During the 19th century the estate passed into the Perceval Walpole family and in 1899 Sir Spencer Walpole sold it to UDC of Ealing for £40,000. It was opened to the public as a park in 1901. The Borough surveyor, Charles Jones, who negotiated the sale, is commemorated in a plaque in the park today. Jones designed the tree-lined avenues, paths and flowers in the wider park and planted the sides of the pond nearest to the house (originally much deeper) with plants and shrubs. This pond is overlooked by a Grade II* ornamental bridge remodelled to a design suggested by Soane.</p>
<h4>Pitzanger Manor in Walpole Park, Ealing. The park was created in 1901 from the original grounds of the house. To the right is the restored public library extension of 1940.</h4>

Wanstead park is a lovely park to walk or cycle around and it has a cafe.

<p>Another in the ever expanding Church Micro Series, started by Sadexploration.</p>
<p>The church was built in 1879-80 to replace a temporary iron structure which was built in 1870. A competition was held between five architects for the design, which was won by George Truefitt. He designed a church in the Early English Gothic style built of squared, snecked, uncoursed Kentish ragstone.</p>
<p>The design does not simply copy medieval features, but incorporates original concepts such as a swept down roof and elongated transepts which anticipate the Arts and Crafts movement. Fittings and stained glass from the late 19C and the 1930s survive, even though the church was bomb damaged during World War II. In 1950-51 Francis Spear designed 7 replacement windows for the chancel apse and a Te Deum window in the North Transept.</p>
<p>The church is Grade II listed.</p>

LongDescription:
The cache is a magnetic micro containing a log book.  Please bring your own pen to sign the log.

To the west of the cache you will see the entrance to Woodlands Farm which is a 90-acre working community farm with charitable status supported by volunteers, bordering Greenwich and Bexley in Greater London, dedicated to education and nature conservation.

Woodlands Farm was originally covered in dense woodland similar to that seen in Oxleas, Lesness Abbey or Bostall Woods. This woodland was cleared for farming, villages or settlements, and to provide a supply of timber for fuel and construction, e.g. for houses and ships. This clearance of the woodland began a long time ago, as far back as the Stone and Iron Ages, but it was most rapid during the last 2000 years.
                                               
Records of the management of Woodlands Farm begin at about the end of the 19th Century, when the Farm was run by the Baldock family. From about 1904 through to 1919 Woodlands Farm was run as a mixed livestock/arable farm, with cattle, horses, hay, cereals, root vegetables and fruit being the main produce.

Woodlands Farm was taken over in 1920 by the Royal Arsenal Cooperative Society (RACS), who developed the site as a ‘model’ pig farm, with piggeries, barns, paths and fields to grow food for the pigs. At the same time the RACS built a modern abattoir at the north of the site. Pigs were reared at Woodlands Farm and these, along with animals from other farms, were slaughtered in the abattoir to supply local shops and butchers with pork and bacon.

In 1983 the Farm was threatened with extinction by a Department of Transport plan to build a motorway, the infamous East London River Crossing, across the Farm and through neighbouring Oxleas Wood. The road would have involved destroying two-thirds of the Farm. After a record-breaking public enquiry and massive opposition to the road spearheaded by People Against the River Crossing, (PARC). the government eventually dropped the scheme in 1993.

The threat of the East London River Crossing finished the neglected Farm as a working entity. It lay semi-derelict until 1995 when the Co-Operative Wholesale Society (CWS) applied for planning permission to build houses on part of the land. This was rigorously opposed by a community group, the Woodlands Farm Alliance.

In 1997 the Woodlands Farm Alliance came to an amicable agreement with the CWS to buy the Farm on a 999-year lease with the help of a very generous grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund with matching funding from Bridge House Estate Trust.

The Woodlands Farm Trust was founded in 1997 to keep access to the Farm for community use on the principles of sustainability, conservation, education and community involvement.

------The Farm is open to the general public every day except Monday and Christmas Day between 9.30am-4.30pm. There is no entry charge but donations are always welcome and help to feed the animals-----

Admittedly this isn’t the prettiest part of Croydon, but there's some interesting, often overlooked, art on the walls at the given co-ordinates<br />
<br />
At the co-ordinates there are 2 murals. The first mural located above the entrance opened on 24th June 2006 and is called ‘Stepping Out’. The purpose of the mural was to create a project to help bring people in Croydon together, and celebrate the borough's diversity.<br />
<br />
Take a look up at this mural, how much are the extra sweet seedless clems? A.BC<br />
<br />
The ‘Stepping Out’ mural is in the underpass that goes to the Whitgift shopping center. The mural opened on 31st January 2011 and depicts some of Croydon’s characters, including Surrey Street Market flower seller Roseanna Lovett and 3 members of the Croydon male voice choir..<br />
<br />
Go down the steps and look at this mural, find the magazine, what number is under 2011? DE<br />

<p>Another in the ever expanding Church Micro Series, started by Sadexploration.</p>
<p>This is one of several urban churches in this area of Bromley.</p>
<p>The church was founded at the end of the 19th century by 5 émigré Scots as Trinity Presbyterian Church of England and originally had a strong Scottish connection; these days the congregation is more cosmopolitan.</p>
<p>In the 1920s the church purchased the neighbouring corner site, which was a market garden, and is now the car park and main church hall.</p>
<p>On 21 June 1935 (Trinity Sunday) a lightning strike caused a major fire which destroyed the roof and much of the church. Firemen fought the blaze for five hours, after which all that was left were the walls, the tower and the organ. The fire, however, provided the opportunity to refurbish to a more modern standard.</p>
<p>In 1972 Trinity joined the union of the United Reformed Church and in 1995 celebrated the centenary by raising money to install disabled persons facilities in a newly decorated and panelled vestibule.</p>

ShortDescription:



The cache had been placed somewhere along a public footpath that runs alongside the slip road adjacent to the A3, and leads to a site that hosts a number of sports facilities. 

One in particular hosts a certain sport which can be seen from the footpath with it's many dinosaurs - and if you listen carefully you can hear dinosaur cries too! 

This is great in the early (darkish) evenings as it is all lit up!

<p>Another in the ever expanding Church Micro Series, started by Sadexploration.</p>
<p>In December 1886 the priest at Chislehurst established a mission in Bromley. Between January and March 1892, the mission’s temporary chapel was constructed in corrugated iron close to the current site, at a cost of £460.</p>
<p>In 1909 the parish priest started the fund-raising for a permanent church and a school building (built in 1909). By May 1911 plans for the new church had been prepared by Edward Goldie. The foundation stone was laid on 8 July 1912 by the Bishop of Southwark; the builders were John Marsland &amp; Son. The church was completed five months later and was opened on 13 December 1912 by Bishop Amigo. Two years later, on 28 April 1914, the church was consecrated, once the debt had been cleared. The church is built in yellow brick laid in English bond, with stone dressings and tile courses around window arches and openings. The roof and gable are covered with clay tiles.</p>
<p>In 1926 several stained glass windows by Hardman were installed. The following year stained glass windows were added in the Lady Chapel, and a large crucifix suspended from the sanctuary arch. Also in the inter-war years, a new font and new confessionals were provided and further stained glass windows inserted. In 1948 a new stained glass window was installed in the south aisle, to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of the mission.</p>
<p>The church is locally listed. A more detailed history and description of the church can be found on the web site <a href="http://taking-stock.org.uk/Home/Dioceses/Archdiocese-of-Southwark/St-Joseph-Bromley">Taking Stock - St Joseph Bromley</a>.</p>

LongDescription:
Stalactites can also form on concrete. The way stalactites form on concrete is due to different chemistry than those that form naturally in caves and is the result of the presence of calcium oxide in the concrete. This calcium oxide reacts with any rainwater that penetrates the concrete to form a solution.<br />
<br />
Over time this solution reaches the edge of the concrete and, if the concrete is suspended in the air, for example, in a ceiling or a beam, then this will drip down from the edge.<br />
<br />
As it drips the solution comes into contact with carbon dioxide in the air resulting in another chemical reaction where calcium carbonate is produced.<br />
<br />
As this solution drips down it leaves behind particles of calcium carbonate and over time these form into a stalactite.<br />
<br />
On the ground below where the drips fall you will often see a white patch - the beginnings of a stalagmite. These tend to get damaged by people walking on them and rarely form more than a faint bump, however when seen underground they can be many meters high.<br />
<br />
To log this earthcache please email me the answers the following 4 questions. The first and last questions will require some research, the second and third can be answered at the location. You do not need to wait for a reply before logging, however if I don't receive an email within 2 weeks I may delete your log!<br />
<br />
<b>1) What solution is created when the calcium oxide in the concrete reacts with rain water?<br />
<br />
2) On which side of the path (looking from the entrance) are the beginnings of stalagmites on the ground more pronounced, near the left hand wall or the right hand wall? Remember they are just going to be faint white patches on the ground.<br />
<br />
3) Bearing in mind that stalactites can grow 1cm a year in these conditions, how old do you think the longest ones have been growing?<br />
<br />
4) Is this growth rate faster or slower than you'd expect to see underground?</b>

ShortDescription:
Enter the Subway from Altyre Road, and just beyond the entrance have a look up, and down!<br />
<br />
A stalactite is a type of formation that hangs from the ceiling of caves, hot springs, or manmade structures such as bridges and mines. Directly below on the ground stalagmites form.<br />

<p>In 1596 John Whitgift, Archbishop of Canterbury (1583-1604), laid the foundation stone of the Hospital of the Holy Trinity at Croydon.  The hospital was to be situated at the medieval town crossroads for the care of between thirty and forty "poor, needy or impotent people" from the parishes of Lambeth and Croydon.  There were three separate buildings: the Hospital or Almshouses, the Schoolhouse and the Schoolmaster's House.  The first stands at the corner of North End and George Street, and the other two stood nearby in George Street.</p>
<img src="http://i1060.photobucket.com/albums/t453/matthewogorman/IMAG0925_zps454e9fdb.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo IMAG0925_zps454e9fdb.jpg" />
<p>Because of their rectangular plan, the Almshouses jut out five feet into George Street at the back, creating a bottleneck at what was the town's main crossroads.  The building has been renovated to bring 20th century standards of comfort to its residents.  On 21st June 1983, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II visited the Whitgift Almshouses to unveil a plaque commemorating its restoration.</p>
<p>In 1923 after many threats of demolition from the Croydon Corporation's road-widening schemes, the Almshouses were saved by the intervention of the House of Lords.  They are now Grade 1 Listed and the most historic building in the Central Croydon Conservation Area.</p>
<p>Nowadays Almshouses offer active elderly people the chance to live in picturesque accommodation clustered around picturesque lawns.</p>

<p>Richmond Hill may very well be the finest view in all of London. Boasting a pristine, sweeping view westward to Windsor over ancient Thames meadowlands, this renowned hill offers the only view in England to be protected by an Act of Parliament – the Richmond, Ham and Petersham Open Spaces Act passed in 1902 – to protect the land on and below Richmond Hill and thus preserve the fine foreground views to the west and south. This hilltop and it's vantage point has been immortalised in paintings by Sir Joshua Reynolds and J.M.W. Turner and was described by Sir Walter Scott as "an unrivalled landscape". </p>
<p>The scenic panorama may be viewed from Terrace Walk, laid out near the top of the hill in the 18th century. This promenade surmounts the Terrace Gardens and both are Grade II listed in English Heritage's Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England and has numerous benches for visitors.</p>
<p>Nearby is a stunning 1863 florid Italian Gothic building, the largest Royal Park, Richmond Park where deer roam free and a historic and truly quaint public house which dates back to the 1500s.</p>
<p><span style="line-height:1.6;">The cache itself is next to the beautiful Terrace Gardens, </span><span style="line-height:1.6;">originally formed from three separate eighteenth century estates and was opened as a public park in 1887. </span><span style="line-height:1.6;">The Gardens provide wonderful opportunities for walking among the mature trees, enjoying the formal and informal planting, having a picnic, being with nature, as well as sitting or reading and enjoying the views of the River Thames.  </span><span style="line-height:1.6;">The gardens are on a steep slope and unfortunately step free access is not possible from the upper lawns up to Richmond Hill. Dogs are welcome in the Gardens, but must be kept on a lead at all times.</span></p>
<p><strong>*** The cache is a small pocket-sized tupperware box containing a tiny log book with NO pencil. Plenty of room for little mementos and trinkets! The hiding place is ground-level though it is not wheelchair accessible and will be very Muggle-y on nice days. ***</strong></p>
Congratulations to Brucacher for the mega-quick FTF!

<div style="text-align:justify;"><strong>The Lighthouse Church</strong> was founded in 1906 by a young couple who saw there was no sunday school in the area which was then under construction. They began classes in their front room further up the road....and very soon there was a class meeting in every room except the loo!  <br />
<br />
The Children were soon joined by adults who gathered to worship , Pray &amp; study the Bible. They began saving and were able to buy the land the church now stands on. The Building opened in 1925. Over the years this vibrant church sent quite a number of missionaries to various parts of the world. <br />

LongDescription:
Park at N 51 26.566 W 000 17.582 where there are also WC’s and refreshments available. Parking is free (or was when we last checked1).

Note: Richmond Park is accessible from dawn to dusk depending on the time of year. Notices are posted on the entrance gates. Pembroke Lodge may close earlier - check the opening times. Access is not possible when the gates to the Lodge are locked  

Find King Henry’s Mound at N 51 26.700 W 000 17.682 where you will find the information required to decode the final co-ordinates for the cache location.

(1)	Windsor Castle is A3.5 miles from here
(2)	Runnymede is 1B miles from here
(3)     Strawberry Hill is 1.C miles away
(4)	James Thomson wrote “The Seasons” in 1DED
(5)	St Paul’s Cathedral is 1F miles away

The final location is:
N CA.B(C+A).(D+A)(C-A)C 
W FFF.A(D+A).(A+B)B(D+A)

The cache location is outside of the park area and can be reached on foot through nearby Petersham Park (accessible via a gate close to King Henry's Mound) via proper footpaths for most of the way and crossing one busy main road. If you have children with you they will enjoy the playground in Petersham Park en-route.

Note: The final cache location is outside of Richmond & Petersham Parks because it is not permitted to put Geocaches in Royal Parks

However, it is a very pleasant walk of about one mile in each direction to the cache, although a steep descent outbound and climb on the return.  

After finding the cache, we recommend you continue along the path a short distance which will bring you to the River Thames towpath with good views of Richmond and boat traffic.

King Henry's Mound is accessible on flat and level tarmac paths and ramps. Access to Petersham Park from Pembroke Lodge is via a short flight of steps.

The final cache location is accessible via a a flat and level unmade path. There is street parking nearby for those wishing to drive rather than walk to the final cache location.

ShortDescription:
This is a simple two part multi cache starting in the grounds of Pembroke Lodge, Richmond Park with great views - some unexpected! We can recommend combining your visit with lunch on the terrace where you can enjoy more spectacular views.

This cache series just skims around the edge of the 8000 year old Oxleas wood placed with the kind permission from Greenwich council parks and open spaces.  
The cache is actually in Eastcote  gardens which I stumbled upon.   
A delightful arrangement on the edge of Oxleas Woods. The only public entrance seems to be just inside the woods. The garden is surrounded on three sides by private houses, on the fourth by the wood and, as may be seen, is dominated by a majestic willow. There are no seats but I rather imagine that not too many people are aware of these gardens.

<p>This cache is along a fairly busy public footpath frequented by joggers, bike riders and dog walkers.</p>

<p>There is no local shops without at least a short walk, and is a fair distance from parking and public transport.</p>

<p>In the local area there are quite a few caches that you could plan a route for a grab em all while having a lovely walk.</p>

<p>Along the whole path you have wonderful views of the Thames as well as some old war era buildings if you venture off the path towards the Thames a bit.</p>

<p>The cache itself is a magnetic silver micro cache around waist height equipped with a small logbook. It may be difficult to get the log out so maybe pack some tweezers just incase! When returning the paper log into the cache it is generally easier to roll it back up and place it in the lid crevice rather than the body to make it easier for the next person to remove.</p>

<p>If the log is damaged or you believe the cache itself has been lost please do not hesitate to contact me directly or leave a maintenance log on the website/app.</p>

<p>Dont forget to log your visit on here and in the cache log in the cache, happy geocaching!</p>

LongDescription:
The church was originally constructed in 1908 but, following extensive war damage, the buildings were virtually rebuilt under the direction of the architect Ralph Covell in the late 1940s. The church halls were demolished and a new church hall constructed in the late 1960s or early 1970s. The new church hall abuts and connects with the north side of the church.
The church is constructed in fair faced concrete blocks with shallow buttresses. The walls are painted internally and externally. The church is spanned by exposed timber trusses and the main roof slopes are covered with concrete interlocking tiles. Windows to the church have ornamental concrete surrounds and the windows are set with leaded lights.
                        

If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication

Cache is a magnetic 35mm canister located just outside church grounds. you will need to bring a pen or pencil to log your visit. 
Usual stealth in a residential area is required with this cache.

This part of the walk is not really suitable for wheelchair users but you can easily pass to the next in the series by following the pavement.<br />
<br />
The final cache is a small click lock box. Please try to cover the cache up properly when you put it back as this is an area where the local youths gather.<br />
<br />
This is a large area of thick woodland. For nature lovers there are a number of protected species of plants, especially along the banks of the River Beck which flows through the site. The River Beck rises in Spring Park Woods (at end of this walk) and continues on through Kelsey Park and under Beckenham Place Park before joining the River Ravensbourne.<br />
<br />
Please be warned that there is a river here and that children should be supervised at all times.<br />
<br />
There is street parking near here for those choosing not to do the circular walk and the 354 bus stops in Monks Orchard Road.<br />

Croydon Minster is located in Old Town Croydon.<br />
<br />
Croydon Minster has a long and distinguished history. It is believed to have been founded in Saxon times, since there is a record of “a priest of Croydon” in 960, although the first record of a church building is in Domesday Book (1086). The church has had close links with the Archbishops of Canterbury who had a Palace in Croydon. Much of that building still stands next to the Minster and is now the Old Palace of John Whitgift School. Six Archbishops of Canterbury are buried in the Minster and many more would have worshipped here. Kings and queens were regular visitors to the archbishops at Croydon - visits by Henry VII, Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I are all well documented. Ten bishops have been consecrated here and the church continues to be regularly used for ordinations and major diocesan and civic services, as well as for the daily parish worship. In its final medieval form, the Minster was mainly a Perpendicular-style structure, but this was severely damaged by fire in 1867, following which only the tower, south porch and outer walls remained. Under the direction of Sir George Gilbert Scott the church was rebuilt, incorporating the remains and essentially following the design of the medieval building, and was reconsecrated in 1870. It still contains several important monuments and fittings saved from the old church.<br />
<br />
The most famous Archbishops of Canterbury is John Whitgift who's name is linked with Croydon via the major shopping centre and almshouses which bear his name.<br />

<h3 style="text-align:center;"><var>The Black Gate was set in an impregnable black stone and iron wall that stretched from the Mountains of Ash in the north to the Ephel Duath in the west. The wall has been estimated to be 60 feet high and 250 feet long with each half of the great gate being 90 feet wide and set on large stone wheels. Behind the gate were gigantic circular stone ramparts, and when the gate needed to be opened, two pairs of Mountain-trolls who were tethered to gigantic beams pushed their way around their rampart's track, gradually levering open the gate and allowing for the incoming or outgoing of Mordor's armies.</var></h3>
<h3 style="text-align:center;"><var>Inset within the wall were myriads of archers, spearmen, bowmen, ballistae, and hundreds of thousands of Orc troops ready to defend Mordor.

<p>Three famous Croydonians have been immortalised with life-size portraits that were unveiled back in 2013.</p>
<p>It was to celebrate a new cycle route from Wandle Park to Lloyd Park via the town centre, a cycling charity has funded the portrait bench in Charles Street.</p>
<p>The bench features Croydon resident and comedy legend Ronnie Corbett, the late actress Dame Peggy Ashcroft and little-known 19th century composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor.</p>
<p>The bench was unveiled by Croydon Mayor Yvette Hopley.</p>
<p>It was rumoured that Kate Moss was voted as one of the three portraits, but refused permission for the makers of the bench to use her likeness.</p>
<p>Croydon’s three local characters will join 250 portraits placed over 80 new walking and cycling routes across the UK.</p>

<h1><span class="marker"><strong><em>Widmore Road Ghost in Uniform</em></strong></span></h1>
<div>
<hr /></div>
<p>On April 25<sup>th</sup> 1943 (Easter Sundey) at 0025 hours, Flight Lieutenant J.P.M Lintott D.F.C.,a member of a famous night squadron in Fighter Command shot down his first raider. The aircraft broke up over Bromley in Kent and wreckage was scattered over a wide area. The largest chunks of wreckage landed on Nos 124-126 Widmore Road, Bromley destroying the two large houses. These have since been replaced by a block of flats called Cromarty Court (about 30m from GZ). </p>
<p>A few years later Mrs Marie edwards moved into 157 Widmore Road and reported the following;</p>
<p>" <em>It was about 1947 when we moved into no.157 Widmore Road Bromley. A few doors down on the opposite side of the road were the two houses that were damaged by the plane that crashed there. I never knew whether it was a British or a German plane, but it had sliced off the back of the two houses which were subsequently demolished. They were a pair of semi detached properties each with a basement, ground floor, first floor and an attic and I remember the steps leading up to the main door. The houses were eventually replaced by flats.</em></p>
<p><em>At the time we moved into 157, the property had been empty for a while and the garden was completely overgrown. I was a young girl then of course, but I remember clearly being told not to play at the bottom of our garden as some of the debris from the plane had also fallen there. We had to be careful as there were several small bits of metal as well as two large 'tanks'. I don't really know what they were.</em></p>
<p><em>In the house was a large mantlepiece, and one day when I was with my mother and grandmother we saw a man leaning against it. He was an officer in uniform, fair haired and cleanshaven and he stood there and said nothing. I don't know if he was British or German. We saw him several times over a period of about six weeks. Each time, he stood in the same place and never said a word. Eventually my grandmother got fed up with him and told him to go away. We never saw him again."</em></p>

<br />
New Malden Station is a suburban station in the London Borough of Kingston upon Thames. The station is served by South West Trains running out of LondonWaterloo. The original station on this site was opened on 1st December 1846 and called ‘Malden for Coombe’ with 2 or 3 trains running per day. The station had been funded largely by a Mr Sim of Coombe House to enable him to reach London quickly. The present ‘village’ of New Malden developed around the station. The saddestday in the station’s history was 16th August 1940 when the first air raid in New Malden struck the station as a train was drawing in with about 80 fatalities. In 1961 the old brick built bridge at the station was demolished and replaced to allow double decker buses to pass underneath (and to cause flooding in times of heavy rain!).<br />
<br />
The cache is about 400m from the station and is a magnetic 35mm film canister. It is placed just off a well-used footpath so stealth will be required. There is just a logbook and, although there is a stubby pencil, it may be best to bring your own.<br /></font></p>

<p>Pymmes brook was named after William Pymme a local landowner between 1307-1327. The trail runs alongside the Pymmes Brook linking Monken Hadley Common and the Lee Valley Leisure Complex at Edmonton. The Brook starts in Hadley woods at Jacks Lake, close to some excellent caches by the three j`s and co. It continues through housing estates to Oak Hill Park, before heading down towards Arnos Grove. Eventually through Enfield and then underground from Edmonton never to be seen again.</p>
<p>This is a small clip-loc type ontainer. It may be suitable for small trades and travellers. Due to heavy tree cover 3 seperate devices were used repeatedly, the published location is an average of all these readings</p>
<p>This trail of caches joins the Brook just outside of Oak Hill Park; there is a car park there: N: 51° 38.169 W: 000° 09.038</p>
<p>The trail then takes you on a journey with the Pymmes Brook into Arnos Park. There is a designated pathway but most of the caches are off the paved path</p>

Start at the park gate located at N51°26.776' W00°17.981' - there are bus stops within 50m of this point. The bones of the first problem lie in the local churchyard. Visit the grave of the captain with a Canadian connection at N51°26.798' W00°18.041'. How old was he when he died? This is A in the formula below. Retrace your steps and go through the park gates and thence to the famous view at N51°26.694 W00°17.683. Refreshments are available nearby as is a car park, should you refuse to use public transport. How far is it to St. Pauls (B) and Runnymede (C)? Once you have enjoyed your fill of the magnificent vistas, head off to N51°27.090 W00°16.942, where you will get the hump. Before you do, note down how far away it is from the signpost(D). Now you can work out your final destination using the following formula: xxx=(5*A)+D+C-B. Beware! When you leave here, you will experience your first brush with the bog. Place names in this area of the park have been sexed-up, so make sure you leave it by the bog standard method and you will be well on your way to N51°27.xxx W00°16.705 and "bog brush". The cache is hidden in a fairly secluded area, but beware of people walking their dogs.
Once you have found the cache, head about 1 km NW via N51°27.707 W00°17.069 and you will come to a main road with regular bus services. If you came by car, you will just have to renew your acquaintance with the bog!

<p>Another in the ever expanding Church Micro Series, started by Sadexploration.</p>
<p>The first St Marks Church was a second-hand iron church, which was erected in what is now St Mark’s Road on Masons Hill in 1884, and was used until 1898. The current site, a very rural one at the time, was bought for £500 and the plans for the new church were drawn up by Mr Evelyn Hellicar, who was the son of the Vicar of Bromley. The church was Perpendicular Gothic in design, and furnished in classic High Victorian style. It was consecrated on 22 October 1898.</p>
<p>Only the bottom part of the tower was built originally, housing the main porch. The tower was raised to its full height in 1903. It was built of brick, faced with red bricks from Dunton Green, and decorated with Doulting Stone from Shepton Mallet in Somerset. The tower measures 94 feet from the floor to the top of the pinnacles and the base is 21 feet square exclusive of the buttresses.</p>
<p>From 1898 the former church was used as a church hall. It was replaced by a new church hall on the same site in 1930. Services resumed in the church hall when the new church was destroyed in the Second World War.</p>
<p>On Wednesday 16th April 1941, Bromley suffered a violent air raid attack in which the church was struck by a combination of incendiary and high explosive bombs. Only the tower was left undamaged. Many of the original features were lost as a result.</p>
<p>The new church was designed by T. W. G. Grant and built by David Nye and Partners. The original foundations were reused, preserving the previous dimensions and shape, and the nave arcades were incorporated into the new structure. The lower part of the chancel arch was also saved, along with the Victorian carved capitals, the choir stalls and sedilia. On 3rd June 1952 H. R. H. The Duchess of Kent laid the corner stone for the reconstruction, and in 1953 St Mark’s was rededicated.</p>

<p>This cache is a replacement for the archived CM386</p>
<p>It is probable that by the late 9th century a wooden Saxon church existed here. The first stone church may well have been built in the reign of Edward the Confessor; there is mention of a church in the Domesday Book (1086).</p>
<p>The present building was largely the work of the later 14th century, following on the arrival in Beddington of St Nicholas Carew in the 1350s. He united the two manors which had existed since Saxon times, and for the next five centuries the church and the village were closely connected with the fortunes of the Carew family. The most interesting part of the Church is the Carew Chapel which was added in 1520 and contains the canopied tomb of Sir Richard Carew. There are some interesting 14th Century misericords in the Choir. The brasses on the chancel floor are some of the finest in Surrey churches. In 1869 a peal of eight bells were installed and in 1877 two trebles were added to give the peal of ten that are now in the tower.</p>
<p>Alongside the church you will see Carew Manor, which at one time was moated. (see photo gallery) The banqueting hall has a fine hammerbeam roof and survives from the original house along with part of the orangery built by Sir Francis Carew and claimed to be the first in England. In about 1591 Sir Walter Raleigh secretly, and without royal permission, married one of Queen Elizabeth I's maids of honour, Elizabeth Throckmorton of Carew Manor. Raleigh spent time in the Tower of London for this and Elizabeth was expelled from the court but the marriage survived the imprisonment. A popular story is that when Raleigh was beheaded by James I in 1618, Elizabeth claimed his embalmed head and kept it in a bag for the rest of her life. His body was buried in St Margaret's, Westminster but many suspect his head remains in Beddington park. The Manor was home to the Royal Female Orphanage from 1865 until 1968. Nearby is an early 18th century dovecote.</p>
<p>To find the cache stand in the church gateway and look at the graveyard opposite. Above the entrance you will see some writing. Count the number of each letter and the cache will be found at:</p>
<p>N51 22.(T-G)(C+K)(R-1) W000 (L+V).(E-M-S)(R-M)(C+M+V). Checksum for all the numbers is 36. Please replace the brick as animals have moved it twice.</p>

Hints: High and dry, above something that would be useful if you were to get stranded at high tide.
LongDescription:
It's long been suspected that London is the most expensive place in the world to park a car, a fact borne out by a recent study. Perhaps it is this that leads a surprising number of motorists to park at the bottom of this slope after the double yellow lines stop. What they don't seem to appreciate is that the Thames is a tidal river, and those lines were probably painted at high tide...

A few times a year you may witness the spectacle of a partially submerged car here, to the horror of the motorist, and, depending on the appeal of Schadenfreude, some amusement to the onlookers.

Richmond bridge itself is, apparently, the oldest bridge over the Thames in Greater London. The bench nearby affords a good view of the bridge, but then again so does just about every spot along this part of the Thames.

PLEASE NOTE: The Thames is a tidal river and the water level is very variable. Whilst a normal tide will not make the cache location dangerous, the river here does on occasion experience exceptionally high water levels and burst its banks. If the water level is at or near the steps leading down from the bridge, you must not attempt this cache.
The slope would make it impractical for wheelchairs. Children should of course be supervised as it is near water.

Needless to say, don't leave your car here while you go off caching!

<hr />
<p style="text-align:center;">Whether in a <em>bottle</em> or a can, root beer is at the <em>top</em> of my list! Created <em>at</em> the end of the 1800s, root beer is a carbonated and sweetened beverage, originally manufactured using the <em>base</em> ingredient <em>of</em><strong> </strong>roots from the sassafras <em>tree</em> and its bark which act as the primary flavor. Root beer, popularized in North America, comes in two forms: alcoholic  and soft drink. The historical root beer was analogous to small beer in that the process provided a drink with a very low alcohol content. </p>

Fans of the TV series Morse, will remember John Thaw's detective character pulling up in the drive of his large Victorian house in his vintage red Jaguar.
Surprise Surprise - the house is not in Oxford but in Ealing.
The property is part of the Castlehill Park Estate, home to Queen Victoria's father, the Duke of Kent.
Unfortunately after the filming had finished squatters moved in and stripped the place of all it's valuable fittings and pipeing.
This has now been restored and converted into flats, but retains its original glory

<p>This Cache has been placed to join the ever growing and popular Side tracked series. More information can be found on (<a href="http://www.sidetrackedseries.info">www.sidetrackedseries.info</a>).</p>
<p>The name was first recorded in 1320 as Elmsted, ‘the place where elm trees grow’, and the wood was Elmystediswood in 1392. This was part of the Bishop of Rochester’s estate and used to provide timber for shipbuilding.</p>
<p>The railway line from St Johns to Chislehurst was constructed in 1865 and Elmstead was the last station to open – in 1904. The ‘Woods’ addition to the name came four years later, presumably to attract day-??trippers. Most of the vicinity was built up in the early 20th century as part of the expansion of Chislehurst.</p>

LongDescription:
Coombe Conduit was part of a very ingenious waterworks system built by Cardinal Wolsey to supply fresh drinking waters from the clean and pleasant springs of West Wimbledon to Hampton Court Palace for Henry VIII.<br />
It is now owned by English Heritage.<br />
There were originally three conduits designed to supply water from springs down Kingston Hill to the Palace three miles away - these were Coombe, Ivy and Gallows Conduits. The conduit consisted of two conduit houses where water collected and connected by an underground passage. A number of tunnels then ran into the conduits and down Kingston Hill to the Palace.<br />
The water in the conduits is phenomenally clear which is a testament to the purity of the water and the ingenuity of the Elizabethan engineering used to build the place.<br />

Number 7 in this series, you are looking for a  35mm film canister. LOOK FOR BONUS CLUE.......

Bethlem has been a part of London since 1247, first as a priory for the sisters and brethren of the Order of the Star of Bethlehem from where the building took its name. Its first site was in Bishopsgate where Liverpool Street Station now stands.  In 1337 it became a hospital and admitted mentally ill patients from 1357 but did not become a dedicated psychiatric hospital until later.  It was known as Bedlam and conditions were dreadful.  Bedlam means uproar and confusion and is derived from its name.
Although the hospital is now at the forefront of humane psychiatric treatment, for much of its history it was notorious for cruelty and inhumane treatment – the epitome of what the term "madhouse" connotes to the modern reader. The Bethlem Royal Hospital moved premises a couple of time and finally moved to its present location in 1930.  Until the 1990s, the hospital and its grounds were in the London Borough of Croydon, but were swapped with the London Borough of Bromley for South Norwood Country Park.
There is a small museum within the grounds and is open to the public on weekdays. The museum is mainly used to display items from the hospital's art collection, which specialises in work by artists who have suffered from mental health problems. Due to the size of the museum only a small fraction of the collections can be displayed at one time, and the exhibits are rotated periodically.

LongDescription:
Christ Church, New Malden is a large and busy church standing at the centre of the evangelical tradition in the Church of England.    
Around 750 people currently attend Christ Church regularly on Sundays including some 250 children.


The church building was first established in 1866 when the Duke of Cambridge gave the land for a church to be built for the rapidly expanding population of New Malden. As the town has grown, the church building and halls have seen successive extensions and modifications. The most recent of these was the building of a lounge and kitchen on the side of the church building in 1981 and then the complete refurbishment of the interior of the church building in 2007.

Cache is a 35mm canister and is located just along the road from the church.

If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication

<p>New Eltham station was opened as Pope Street Station in April 1878, twelve years after the opening of the Dartford Loop Line. The station was renamed New Eltham in 1886 although Pope Street was retained as a suffix until 1927. It had a goods yard on the up side which closed in 1963 and eventually became a car park, and a signal box just beyond the western end of the down platform. In 1955 the platforms were extended to take ten carriage trains. In the same year the signal box was taken out of use and demolished. The up side booking office was rebuilt in 1988. At the time of placing this cache, work was in the advanced stages of completing the new footbridge on the station.</p>

<p><strong><u>The Cache</u></strong></p>
<p>This cache is a magnetic 2ml test tube. You will need a pencil or pen to sign the log and possibly tweezers. Please return the cache to exactly the same place it was found. As it is low down I have marked the cache as not suitable for lone wheelchair users, although it may be possible. Some stealth will be required as this is on a busy footpath, with a car park adjacent.</p>

<hr /></div>
<p>In 1977 Mr and Mrs Goose moved into a nineteenth century property in Pinewood Road (just a tad further up from the GZ) and discovered shortly afterwards that things were happening in their cellar.</p>
<p>On one occasion Mr Ron Goose (who seemed to be the main focus of the activity) reported that a nail dropped from nowhere onto his foot, and on another occasion, a piece of steel dropped from nowhere onto the bench next to him. He also reported finding bent drill bits, and weirdest of all was when he felt someone kick him in the leg. The most outrageous reported incident was when he dropped a tack on the floor, and when he bent to reclaim it, it had turned into a razor blade!</p>
<p>Eventually the couple called in a medium to bless the house. She was taken to the cellar and spoke a few words words and then blew in the air. A couple of days later Ron reported being in the cellar and feeling someone or something blow in his face. Since then .......... nothing!</p>

LongDescription:
Side Tracked caches have become a nationwide series of caches for public transport users. They are intended to provide quick cache-and-dashes at or nearby railway stations. Caches can be found close to stations of the national rail network and well as heritage railways.

West Ealing station is on Brunels old Great Western Railway.
It is serviced by the Heathrow Connect service from Heathrow to Paddington and also by the Greenford to Paddington local service.
Trains run on a 30 minute service on both lines.
The station is unfortunately closed on Sundays.

The cache location was built as an hotel in 1894 and is one of the oldest pubs in Ealing. It became purely a pub in the 1940's and then became a "pub with rooms" in 2011.
Ho Chi Minh the North Vietnamese leader worked here as a kitchen porter in 1914.
The garden behind the pub originally held tennis courts and a bowling green and even now is the largest pub garden in London (probably the largest in any city in the UK)

The cache is a magnetic nano and only contains a log book

<p>Another contribution to this series, started by sadexploration</p>
<p>Carshalton Baptist Church is attached to Strawberry Lodge, a 17th century Grade II listed building, which is used as a conference centre. The church and Strawberry Lodge were both completely renovated in 1995 and the conference centre is run solely for the benefit of the church and its mission.</p>
<p>This is a very simple multi, you can park by the church then find the clue to give you the final cache location which is a short walk away.</p>
<p>Number of bicycle stands = A</p>
<p>Number of black lamps on the front of Strawberry Lodge = B</p>
<p>Number of stone steps on Strawberry lodge = C</p>
<p>Number of knobs on railings by steps = D</p>
<p>Number of words on top sign on lamppost by entrance = E</p>
<p>Cache can be found at: N51 22.DEC W00 09.(E+1)A(A-B-D)</p>
<p>If you follow the river upstream through the park you will reach All Saint’s Carshalton CM. If you have children with you there is an excellent children’s play area in the park.</p>

<p>Neighs of the past…</p>
<p>Syon House was once home to a Riding School, built in the 1820s by the third Duke of Northumberland and designed by Charles Fowler, architect of the Great Conservatory. The Grade II listed Riding School building is now part of a Garden Centre however the nineteenth-century Riding School, Stables and Coach House can still be seen today.  The outdoor plant area was once an exercise ground for the estate horses. A blue plaque for The Stables bears the legend:  The stable block connecting the Coach House and the Riding School was built to replace the old wooden stables which were demolished around 1790.  Up to seventeen horses were stabled here, the upper storey serving as accommodation for the stable hands.  The original stalls, mangers, drinking troughs and flooring have been preserved. The Riding School and its compacted peat floor were cemented over for hospital use in the First World War.  The spacious interior is notable for its distinctive roof design, a light iron structure which is thought to be unique.</p>
<p>This cache is located a once key spot for the House…  Sadly this spot is no longer in use and is now just a reminder of the past. You are looking for a magnetic film container with a pencil and log pad.</p>

Hints:
Left hand side railings from the footpath, cache is on the final railing by the wall on the park side just below the spikes.

<p style="text-align:center;"><u><cite><strong>Fe2O3 weir and tear </strong></cite></u>is situated along the Grand Union Canal which will take you across a lock, through a rusty old gate, along a winding footpath, through the trees and onto an expanse of concrete.... the weir. I have seen this many times on my travels up and down the canal and always wandered... 'just how do you get to that place?'. Today I did a little exploring and found my way over to this concrete 'monolith' in the woods and decided it was an ideal place to hide a geocache. </p>

<p style="text-align:justify">This cache is along a public pathway running alongside a peaceful canal frequented often by fisherman all year around. Could be a great opportunity for a nice dog walk or day out with the kids. Path leads along family friendly pathways so why not make a day out of it?</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Not many shops close by but is on a bus route so easy to reach anything required.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">Not far away is a wonderful hill with a childrens park and great views also easy pathways to and from the thames if required.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">While the path is wheelchair accessible but you may need some help retrieving the actual cache. </p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The cache is a small brown camouflaged container, just off the public path. The cache is equipped with a small logbook and a pencil, though as I will be doing maintenance whenever needed I can't guarantee it being there so it may be wise to bring a pencil just incase. Although the cache only contains the above it is large enough for small items to trade.</p>

<p>Water to Follow is a series of off-road caches around West London that are easy with the hint but difficult without. So if you find it without decrypting and it was a challenge, then do say so in your log. They are best done by bike and ultimately will be circular.</p>
<p>Just across the water from Alperton Cemetery. Opened during the First World War, Alperton features a simple brick chapel with a Welsh slate roof and beautiful stained glass windows. This ten acre cemetery lies between the Grand Union Canal and the Bridgewater Road.</p>
<p>The cemetery includes a war grave section which is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Best at night.....on Halloween ... during a full moon. Take a stake.</p>

<p>The building comprises a short nave, of five narrow bays, a broad chancel and large Lady Chapel on its south side; opposite this is the organ chamber and a modem Clergy Vestry with flat roof which extends westward into the aisle. At the east end is a single storey range with a pitched roof which accommodates a sacristy, choir vestry (now used as a Sunday School room) and east-west corridor between. It was designed by Henry Woodyer and built in 1857. The aisles were added, by the same architect, in 1870. The chancel was rebuilt and the Lady Chapel added by H B Walters in 1891.</p>

LongDescription:
Fryent Country Park comprises gently undulating ground, both woodland and open grassland where dogs walk their people.  There are two ponds, one at the summit of Barnhill and one (which also has a small secondary pond associated with it) at the foot of the northern slope. Both have reed beds with resident moorhens and herons are frequent visitors.  Parakeets also do regular fly-bys. The cache is located in hedgerow on the fringe of grassland at the foot of Barnhill.  It can be approached by descending from the top of Barnhill (a descent of some 40 metres; parking for cars at N51 34.310 W0 16.700) or across flattish grassland from a carpark on Fryent Way (N51 34.537 W0 16.540).  The ground may be marshy underfoot during wet spells.

NB - When there is an event at Wembley Stadium (an "event day"), street parking is available for permit holders only. Geocachers are advised to use the carpark on Fryent Way (N51 34.537 W0 16.540).

Hints:
Not at the water's edge but close enough to hear the wind in the willows.  Located in hedgerow in a concrete-encased cavity in the ground 10 paces SW of the SW corner of a large concrete foundation.

LongDescription:
This cache is named "Greystones" after the building mentioned below as we have life-long connections with the 1st West Wickham.  Both male Crawleys went from Cubs to Scout Leaders at Greystones!

As you enter Blakes Recreation park, there is (on the right hand side) a post war building built in 1957 by parents, Leaders and Scouts of the 1st West Wickham Scout Group.  The building was officially opened 5th October 1963.  It is built on ground purchased from Mr Popham who lived in Blakes Green which backs on to the Scout property.  It is a busy, active place where Brownies, Cubs, Guides, Scouts etc meet weekly and used as a play school each morning.

Blakes Recreation Ground was named in honour of Dr William Blake. He was much loved by his patients and, at first, did his rounds in a pony and trap.  In later years he drove a Model T Ford with “indifference to other road users”.  He was very active in the community.  The stocks tree was moved here from outside the Swan and it remained until 1968 when it was blown down in a gale.  All that is left is framed and hanging in the swimming baths.

There is a playground here for children and parking in local streets for those not wishing to do the circular walk.

LongDescription:
The water tower was bult in 1867 and designed by Baldwin Latham, Borough Engineer, in a brick Norman style.  The 75 foot diameter structure was built to contain 950,000 gallons of water, its dome being entirely constructed from intricate brickwork.  It was built to provide water to the Croydon's higher areas.  The tower was opened to the public as a viewing platform in 1889.<br />
<br />
<p>During the First World War the tower's lofty heights were an excellent vantage point for the observation of approaching hostile Zeppelins.  The building was listed Grade 2 in 1970 but has had the tanks and timber removed.  It still stands as a landmark for the people of Croydon and the surrounding area.</p>

This is a micro cache with enough room to log your visit but no swops.

This is my local park and as I was walking through it I saw a view that I had never seen before.  If you stand at the cache location and look north you can see Canary Wharf and the Millenium Dome.

This cache could easily be linked up with Coombe Wood Cache and Addington Hills Triangle to make a circular walk.

Please be careful of muggles when retrieving.

The New Malden Methodist Church is closely linked with the local Korean community and draws a great many of its parishioners from the eastern community living in the northern Surrey borough. The church itself is a red brick affair, probably built by the late Victorians and added to in the early 20th Century. The church has a large and ethnically varied congregation who like to take a leading role in community affairs. 

 

Situated in New Malden High Street ,the mission of New Malden Methodist Church is 
•	to glorify and worship God 
•	to further God's Kingdom on earth 
•	to proclaim in word and action the Good News of Jesus Christ to the people of our local community and the wider world;
•	to encourage commitment and personal growth in Christian discipleship and spirituality
•	to be a channel of God's love through service and care for all.

Cache is a magnetic key safe and contains a log sheet only so please bring a pen or pencil to log your visit.

This is an extremely busy location and muggles are absolutely everywhere (even in places you would not expect to see them) so you will need much stealth! Also beware of muggles in the surrounding shops and cafes!


If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication.

All Saints Church is the parish church of Isleworth. It dates from the 14th century but by the end of the 17th century was in need of repair. Sir Christopher Wren was asked to submit a plans for the building but these were too expensive for the parish and it was not until until 1705, when Sir Orlando Gee died and left a £500 legacy that the work, with a few modifications, could commence and it was finished in 1706<br />
In 1943 a fire started by two school boys destroyed all of the building apart from the tower. The present church was built in 1970 to replace a temporary church building and incorporates the original 14th century stone tower.<br />
The church is mentioned in the Doomsday Book. When William the Conqueror parcelled out his land to his knights, the parish was given to Walter de St Valeri, the living being under Norman domination for the next 140 years. With the growing discontent regarding foreign patronage the land was sold to William of Wykehsm, Bishop of Winchester, and became part of the endowment for his newly founded college. In the annals of Winchester College dated 1398 reference is made to the Tower of Isleworth. This is the oldest part of the present building.<br />
The boundaries of the parish stretch from the Grand Union Canal at Brentford End. Brentford End is now mainly occupied by Syon House; this land was originally known as Olde England. There was a natural ford here where Julius Caesar in BC54 crossed the river on his way to St. Albans.<br />
Catherine Howard (5th wife of Henry VIII) was imprisoned nearby in 1541 and 1542. Although confined for infidelity, under Henry’s orders she was still to be treated as a queen. During her imprisonment at Isleworth she made several visits to the Church. It was from Isleworth Stairs opposite the Church that the Royal barge took her on the fateful journey to the Tower. Alas the same fate befell Lady Jane Grey, the Nine Day queen, the royal barge transported her to the Tower to be beheaded as well.<br />
<br />
The cache has been placed here by the kind permission of the vicar. This area has many guided tours around it so even it if does seem a bit exposed do not worry - the church officials are happy about it - just remember that that this is a churchyard and treat it as such with dignity<br /></span></span></p>

LongDescription:
Cache is a small magnetic container, located somewhere in the Malden Centre Car Park. You will need to bring something to sign the log book.

Please remember that if you park in the Malden Centre Car Park it is a pay and display and you will need to buy a ticket. (this also applies to the multi-storey car park next door)

This is a highly muggly area for most of the day (6am - 11pm) so you will need a lot of stealth & discretion with this cache - and that is half the fun!

The cache is an audacious hide and is in full view for everyone to see (if they have cacher's eyes that is!) so there is no camouflage.

I've tried to be as accurate as I can with the co-ordinates (if they are greatly wrong please let me know!)

Although GZ is accessible for wheelchairs, help will be needed to retrieve the cache.

Having recently moved into the area we decided to link two of our
local parks- Wanstead park and Valentines Park.<br />
<p><b>Valentines Park</b> is remains of the Gardens of Valentines
Mansion. A Gentlemans residence originally built for for Lady
Tillotson, the widow of the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1696. It
was bought by the local council in 1906 after its last resident
Sarah Ingleby died. The Park was created over a peroid of 25 years
as Ilford Borough Council bought various pieces of Land for local
people to enjoy. County cricket was played in the park for a number
of years from the 1920s.</p>
<p>This cache is on a road connecting Valentines Park to Wanstead
Park.</p>

<p><font size="2">A cache in the über suburbs that grew in this area during the 1930's. Unlike the centuries-old village churches that the CM series celebrates, this cache marks one of the more modern churches that were established to serve the theological needs of the growing suburban population.<br />
<br />
Building began on St. Mary's Church, designed by the architect Thomas Ford, in June 1954. The foundation laying ceremony took place on October 9th 1954, and the consecration of the church on October 1st 1955.</font></p>
<div align="center"><img src="http://www.southwark.anglican.org/images/where/parishes/304f.jpg" align="bottom" /><br /></div>
<p><font size="2"><br />
The church comprises a narthex (entrance chamber), nave and shallow sanctuary. The church has a partially disengaged north-west campanile, or bell tower, and externally is in an Italian Romanesque style. The tympanum over the main door is decorated with a form of art which is seldom seen in Britain, known as 'S'graffito', which suitably to the style of the church, originated in Italy.<br />
<br />
Some of the internal features such as the font and the altarpiece in the side chapel are re-used from other churches. The large stained glass windows piercing the north and south walls of the sanctuary are both portrayals of archangels, St Michael and Uriel.</font><br />
<br />
<font size="3">The coordinates will take you to a notice board outside the church, which details the services throughout the week.  Look at the services offered on <u>Wednesday</u>.<br />

LongDescription:
Barking Park, in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, in east London, is a park covering just under 30 hectares to the east of Barking town centre. It lies north of Longbridge Road, and is near the boundary with Loxford. The park was the first council controlled park in the Borough, and was first established as a classic Victorian park in 1896. According to the newly restored commemorative plaque by the main gates in Longbridge Road, it was officially opened on 9 April 1898 by Councillor C L Beard J.P., Chairman of Barking Town Urban District Council.<br />
<br />
The park's most significant feature is a 910 metre long boating lake on the north side of the park. Rowing boats were introduced first, and then on 1 April 1953, motor boats and a Mississippi style paddle steamer called "Phoenix II" made their debut. The paddle steamer continued to operate on the lake until 1967.<br />
<br />
Other facilities include tennis and basketball courts, two bowling greens (indoor and outdoor), a children's playground, football pitches and a flower garden. A lido was built in 1931 but this was closed permanently in 1988. The longstanding park cafe was demolished and a roller-skating park built on the site.<br />
<br />
The park contains a recently renovated war memorial for men of the Barking Town Urban District who fell in World War I and World War II. Every year on Remembrance Day (usually the 2nd Sunday in November) a commemorative ceremony is held at the war memorial preceded by music from a local marching band.<br />
<br />
In 2006 the council received stage one funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund to develop a proposal for restoration of the park. Since then two lengthy new pathways have been constructed in the main grassed area adjacent to Longbridge Road.<br />
You are looking for a 35mm bison type container and log book. Cache can be accessed from within or outside the grounds.

This cache has been resurrected for your enjoyment and is a follow on from the previous ST - Motspur Park which was archived in January 2011. Many thanks to the previous cache owner who was happy for me to resurrect it!

Motspur Park railway station is a suburban station in the London Borough of Merton in South London. The station is served by South West Trains, and is in Travelcard Zone 4. It is 6 stops and 22 minutes from Waterloo and 24 to 27 minutes travel to Waterloo.

Southbound destinations are Chessington South, Dorking and Guildford.

The station stands atop a railway embankment off a service road behind the parade of shops on West Barnes Lane. The shops and surrounding streets on both sides of the line are known as Motspur Park. There is also footpath access from Claremont Avenue on the western side.

The station is a single island platform reached by footbridge from either side of the track. The station retains its original London and South Western Railway buildings in the centre of the platform.

You are looking for a 35mm film canister and cache has been placed on a road that can get very busy at peak times and also when the level crossing is down. Extreme stealth is recommended! 

And as always with roads, please be careful with young children.

<p>Water to Follow is a series of off-road caches around West London that are easy with the hint but difficult without. So if you find it without decrypting and it was a challenge, then do say so in your log. They are best done by bike and ultimately will be circular.</p>
<p>This section runs along the busy A40 (where there is a cycle lane). Just opposite here is the <a target="_blank">Hoover Buidling</a> which was designed for the Hoover Company by the celebrated art-deco architectural practice Wallis, Gilbert &amp; Partners. Completed in 1932, it was originally commissioned as a factory complex with production, storage and repairs at ground floor level and offices above. Listed in 1980, the Grade II building was in use until the late 1980’s. The original production area is now converted into a Tesco superstore and the Hoover Building to the front is effectively self-contained. The extensive art-deco features on the exterior and in the common parts have been carefully restored.</p>

LongDescription:
<strong>LEE NAVIGATION</strong>
<p>The River Lee Navigation is a canalised river incorporating the River Lee (also sometimes spelt River Lea). The river runs from Hertford Castle Weir to Bow Creek/Limehouse Basin, where it meets the River Thames. Historically the river was used to transport goods from Hertfordshire to London, particularly grain. Today the area forms part of the Lee Valley Regional Park, Tottenham Marshes, Walthamstow Marshes and runs parallel to the London 2012 Olympic Park. Extremely popular with walkers, cyclists and fishers, the pathways offer a great opportunity to see an abundance of wildlife and some of the rather beautiful and quirky barges moored at different points along the river. This is also a great walk (or cycle &amp; dash; the path forms part of the National cycle network) if you are looking to avoid tramping through tons of pre and post winter mud as the paths are mostly gravel and really well looked after. Some areas along the walk are nicer than others so be prepared...this is London and as fantastic as it is, some spots aren't so pretty. That said, most are and some are rather stunning and more than make up for their less attractive cousins!</p>

LongDescription:
Richmond Lock and Footbridge is a lock and pedestrian bridge, situated on the River Thames in south west London, England and is a Grade II* listed structure.  It is the furthest downstream of all the Thames locks and is the only one owned and operated by the Port of London Authority.
The Richmond lock and weir complex was built between 1891 and 1894 by the Thames Conservancy to maintain a navigable depth of water upstream of Richmond. This then ensures that there is always at least a 1.72m depth of water in the River between Richmond and Teddington.  In 1908 an Act transferred responsibility for the Thames from a point 350 yards (320 m) below Teddington Lock to the Port of London Authority, and this included Richmond Lock.
When the old London Bridge was demolished in 1832, the removal of the palisades, constructed to protect the bridge, resulted in the tides on the Thames rising and falling far more rapidly than they had done. This, together with dredging of the lower river, meant that for long periods the Thames at Twickenham and Richmond was little more than a stream running through mudbanks. In 1890, after many years of petitioning, an act of parliament was enacted to build a half-lock and weir downstream of Richmond Bridge (Richmond Footbridge, Sluice, Lock and Slipway Act 1890).
Richmond Footbridge.
To restore the river to its former state a barge lock was constructed against the Surrey side joined by a weir to three roller slipways for small craft on the Middlesex side. As a superstructure was required to operate the sluice mechanism, it was agreed to construct this in the form of two footbridges.
The bridge was formally opened on 19th May 1894 by the then Duke of York (who later became King George V) having cost £61,000 to construct.
Technically, Richmond Lock is a half-tide lock and barrage, which also incorporates a public footbridge. The footbridge crosses the conventional lock, the slipway and the barrage, which comprises three vertical steel sluice gates suspended from the footbridge structure. These gates weigh 32 tons each and are 66 feet in width and 12 feet in depth. The lock permits passage of vessels up to 250 feet long by 26 feet 8 inches wide.

Also in the chapel are two old side panels from the original sanctuary, carved in blue and gold. A new organ was installed in 1977. The vicarage, adjacent to the church, was opened and blessed in 1936. The buildings thus form an homogenous whole.<br />

Sir Joseph Hood Memorial Playing Field 

Sir Joseph Hood, after whom the Playing Field and the adjacent Woodland (and the recreation ground near Cannon Hill Common) are named, was a local benefactor, Member of Parliament and Mayor of Wimbledon.
At the time of the Reformation, the whole area, consisting of woods, arable and pasture land, belonged to the Priory of Merton. From the early 16th Century, and probably long before, an area between the Beverley Brook and the village of lower Morden formed Hobald’s Farm. It was bought by the Garths, Lords of the Manor of Moden, before 1611. 
At some time during the 1860s, Richard Garth planted some land to the west of the farm with oak trees and it survives today as Sir Joseph Hood Memorial Wood. The wood contains more than one ancient woodland indicator spies, which presumably were surviving here in hedgerows before the wood was planted. As Garth had nearby dog kennels, he probably intended it as a hunting covert. Eventually, in 1931, the Urban District of Merton and Moden acquired the part of the estate now known as The Sir Joseph Hood Memorial Playing Field, including the wood.
 
Location

Sir Joseph Hood Memorial Playing Field is located off Marina Avenue, Motspur Park in West Barnes Ward on the southwest border of Merton and the Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames. The main entrance to the Playing Field is to the north of the site off Marina Avenue. There are two pedestrian entrances on the eastern boundary of the playing field towards the Morden Crematorium and Cemetery and one on the southern boundary. 

Permissive Footpath

At the top of the site is a permissive footpath that is required to be closed for a 24 hour period in order to maintain access rights for its users.  This closure usually occurs towards the end of December to minimise disruption.  A notice will be placed on the gate advising users prior to the closure. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. 


The Cache is located along a public footpath which runs between Sir Joseph Hood Memorial Playing Fields and Merton & Sutton Joint Cemetery, through to Green Lane in Worcester Park. Access to the footpath can be either via the playing fields, Arthur Road or Green Lane (Worcester Park). Watch out for muggle horses, they may be watching you!

BEWARE: During the Spring/Summer months there are a lot of stinging nettles so wear long trousers or bring plenty of sting relief cream with you!!

A replacement cache is now in place and is just a couple of feet from original cache and the clue has changed!

Cache is a small clip-lock box and when placed contained:

LongDescription:
This is the 8th in the series of a circular walk around West Wickham.  Like several others, this can be done as a cache and dash but we hope you will try the walk!!

The cache is a black magnetic key box and is situated by what was once known as The White Hart.  Now known as La Rioja, this building is a 1909 rebuild of an old beer house.  The pond has long since been filled in and patrons to La Rioja park their cars there.  The River Beck (rising in SpringPark) runs alongside here, crossing under the road, and the area was once known as Ridle Brook.  The River Beck continues through High Broom Woods to Kelsey Park in Beckenham and under Beckenham Place Park.  We have caches in these different areas.

West Wickham is mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086 as having a mill worth 20 pence (1 shilling and eight pence) and it is thought by some that the mill stood here by the side of the Beck.

<p>Thought it would be nice to place a cache within the Poet's estate area of Sutton! Hidden down a pathway connecting Royston Park to Colburn Way and Duke of Edingburgh Road (All Poet's if you didn't notice!). Stealth needed as many muggle dog walkers in the area and school children on their way to and from school. Small/medium sized cache, contains log and pen and room for small trackables, happy searching :) </p>

LongDescription:
<p>Lloyd Park is a lovely and under used park in South Croydon. There is free parking available for several hours on display of a ticket. The roads around offer free parking too but mostly in bays. There is a playground for children and an open air gym. A pond is slowly being reclaimed by the wardens but mainly it is used for football on Saturdays and Sundays and dog walking.<br />
<br />
If coming through Lloyd park be aware that cars and trams are nearby so keep an eye on small children. There is some open water in the park too although a fair distance from this cache. Be stealthy in your search and please endeavour to replace exactly as found.</p>
<p>You are looking for a disguised container and to replace you may need to twist to ensure it remains in place. There is no pen and no room for swaps or trackables. It will be a struggle to see muggles approaching as you claim the find so be stealthy.</p>

ShortDescription:
<p>Don't read anything into the name as it is random and just chosen for a series name.</p>
<p>There are several other caches in the park so a good days caching could be had, but plan your own route.</p>

LongDescription:
The A3, known as the Portsmouth Road for much of its length, is a dual carriageway, or expressway, which follows the historic route between London and Portsmouth passing close to Kingston upon Thames, Guildford, Haslemere and Petersfield. For much of its 67-mile (108 km) length, it is classified as a trunk road and, apart from a section within the London conurbation and a short section where the Hindhead Tunnel is currently being built, is dual carriageway. At its southerly end, the original road has been replaced by the A3(M), but the designation A3 is still used to identify the old road.
The road was once the haunt of highwaymen. For example, the legendary Jerry Abershawe terrorised the area around Kingston and led a gang based at the Bald Faced Stag Inn on the Portsmouth Road. Another particularly dangerous location was in the vicinity of the Devil's Punch Bowl, Hindhead, about 8 miles (13 km) south-west of Guildford.

Today there is a traffic black spot during peak hours going northbound before the Hook underpass. The road reduces from three lanes to two in the underpass. The speed limit at this point reduces from 70 miles per hour (110 km/h) to 50 miles per hour (80 km/h), with the first of many speed enforcement cameras situated before the road bears to the right and under the bridge . The traffic from the A309 also joins just before the underpass. This section is often busy from about 7:50am to 8:30am and from 5:15pm to 5:50pm.

The Kingston By-pass becomes the Esher By-pass at the A3's junction with the A309.

You are looking for a 35mm film canister, please replace exactly as you found it, thanks.

<p>The church dates back to 1926, when the Wesleyan Methodist Connexion secured a site (formerly part of Hormanshire Farm) in South Chingford. During 1929 discussions took place with the United Methodist, Primitive Methodist and V'esleyan Methodist Churches, as a result of which the South Chingford Church became the focus of the union scheme. The three churches were joined nationally by Act of Parliament in 1929. </p>

Another contribution to this series, started by
sadexploration<br />
<p>In July 1836, a small chapel, dedicated to St John the
Evangelist was opened in Shirley, built to accommodate upwards of
200 people. As the neighbourhood grew the Chapel proved to be too
small and Lord Ashburton gave a plot of land adjoining the chapel
yard in order to provide a site for a new larger place of worship.
In the autumn of 1854 building of the new church was commenced from
the designs of Sir Gilbert Scott. It was intended to accommodate
350 persons but by a little rearrangement, 450 were seated at the
consecration.</p>
<p>The design is early Gothic, surmounted by a pretty spire; the
exterior is composed of flints, with Tunbridge sand-stone and
Kentish rag-stone dressings. The principal entrance is through a
porch facing the road via a lych gate and path.<br />
The parents of John Ruskin are buried here and when you look around
the graveyard you will see some interesting gravestones.</p>
<p>Make your way to the Greek Temple at N51 22.306 W00 03.021 under
the resting place of a flock of parakeets and find the memorial to
Arthur Gurney Preston, born Oct A BCDE, died Aug FG HIJK. (see
spoiler photo)</p>
<p>The cache can be found at: N51 22.(I-D)(D-E-F)(A+F) W00
02.(D+J)(E-B)(G-J)</p>
<p>Suggested parking in Spring Park Road.<br /></p>

LongDescription:
A series of caches placed just outside each of the gates of Richmond Park. If I am able place one at each gate then there will be ten caches in total. Obviously busy locations so some stealth is required.
<p>There is a shared pedestrian / cycle path in the Park that goes around the perimeter and you can briefly pop out to grab the caches.</p>
<p>If you are cycling (RECOMMENDED), then it might be a good idea to bring a lock so that you don't have to squeeze your cycle through some of the narrower gates.<br />
If you are walking, watch out for cyclists.<br />
If you are driving....it's only seven miles around the path.</p>
<p><b>Note: The Park is open to walkers and cyclists 24/7 (except during the cull which lasts 4/6 weeks starting in February) when the Park is completely closed at 8 PM. I highly recommend a night circuit.</b></p>

LongDescription:
Off Yer Trolley! caches are intended to provide fairly easy
drive-by caches together with the opportunity to CITO in their
recycling area and nip in to do the shopping at the same time or
even escape the shopping for "The need to cache". 
<p>This cache is within the grounds of a well known national
supermarket chain normally with no history or special features
observed, picked for (1) sheer annoyance factor, in the midst of
muggles and therefore (slightly) technically difficult and (2) A
good opportunity for a CITO.</p>
This one is the exception that proves the rule since it does have
special features and the cache is probably slightly outside the
supermarket but you can see the recycle area. The area does have a
fantastic bottle crusher but it does seem to take much longer than
usual to dump all your bottles??!! 
<p>The cache is a magnetic nano, please sign with initials
only.</p>

LongDescription:
We have lived nearby for nearly 60 years and this is an area we have frequently walked in, and so being as we particularly enjoy geocaches that take us on a walk, our geocaching daughter who now lives in Africa helped us lay a trail of caches to take you on a short circuit that we hope you will enjoy. From the days of our youth, one of us can recall that running alongside what is now the allotments used to be a greyhound track. This open space used to be called 'Fanny on the Hill', sharing its name with the pub at the entrance where the trail starts. Rumour has it that Fanny, the barmaid, stood on the hill and waved a lantern across the valley to inform the notorious highwayman Dick Turpin when the coast was clear from the King's soldiers, so that he could emerge from his hiding place in the nearby Bostall Woods - the pub sign thus depicts a lady with a lamp. Dick Turpin, born in 1706, was sentenced to death on the gallows in 1739 for horse stealing, so ending his infamous career of robbery and murder. At the bottom of the nearby Shooter's Hill is another pub called 'We Anchor in Hope', named after travellers hoping to make it over the hill without being robbed. On the top of Shooter's Hill are ancient horse mounting blocks called Dick Turpin's steps, and in Bostall Woods can be found what is known as Dick Turpin's Cave. 'Fanny on the Hill' has since been renamed to East Wickham Open Spaces and was awarded the 'Green Flag Award' in 2003/4 and incorporates a small section of the Green Chain Link long distance walk that we completed many years ago. The whole area is very popular with dog walkers and so please beware of muggles.

LongDescription:
The church has served the community in and around New Malden since its foundation as a Congregational Church on 20th April 1881 when eighteen people covenanted together.
It was opened for services on the 3rd May 1881. 

In 1972 it became the United Reformed Church when it joined with the Presbyterian Church in a step towards Unity of the Christian faith.

The above co-ordinates will take you to the church. In front of the church in the grounds is a memorial that you need to look at. You will not need to enter the church grounds as what you need to see is clearly visible from the pavement.

On the memorial are two sets of dates with names underneath both sets. Ignore the dates on the first line but take a look at the dates on the 7th line underneath the name J.A. SUDBURY

ABCB - ABDE 

Final location for cache is:

N 51° (A+A)C.(D+E)(C-A)(B-D)
W 000° A(A+D).(E-D)(B-C)(C+D) 

You are looking for a magnetic key safe.


If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication

LongDescription:
We have lived nearby for nearly 60 years and this is an area we have frequently walked in, and so being as we particularly enjoy geocaches that take us on a walk, our geocaching daughter who now lives in Africa helped us lay a trail of caches to take you on a short circuit that we hope you will enjoy. From the days of our youth, one of us can recall that running alongside what is now the allotments used to be a greyhound track. This open space used to be called 'Fanny on the Hill', sharing its name with the pub at the entrance where the trail starts. Rumour has it that Fanny, the barmaid, stood on the hill and waved a lantern across the valley to inform the notorious highwayman Dick Turpin when the coast was clear from the King's soldiers, so that he could emerge from his hiding place in the nearby Bostall Woods - the pub sign thus depicts a lady with a lamp. Dick Turpin, born in 1706, was sentenced to death on the gallows in 1739 for horse stealing, so ending his infamous career of robbery and murder. At the bottom of the nearby Shooter's Hill is another pub called 'We Anchor in Hope', named after travellers hoping to make it over the hill without being robbed. On the top of Shooter's Hill are ancient horse mounting blocks called Dick Turpin's steps, and in Bostall Woods can be found what is known as Dick Turpin's Cave. 'Fanny on the Hill' has since been renamed to East Wickham Open Spaces and was awarded the 'Green Flag Award' in 2003/4 and incorporates a small section of the Green Chain Link long distance walk that we completed many years ago. The whole area is very popular with dog walkers and so please beware of muggles.

ShortDescription:

<p>This cache is placed to aide a friend in their streak to 150 (now achieved).  It is placed based around the other mega interest for me of football, but as a celebration of the grass roots level really as opposed to overpaid, under used PL players ;-)</p>
<p>Lloyd Park is a lovely park in South Croydon. There is free parking available for several hours on display of a ticket. The roads around offer free parking too but mostly in bays provided.  There is a playground for children and an open air gym.  A pond is slowly being reclaimed by the wardens but mainly it is used for football on Saturdays and Sundays and dog walking.</p>
<p>Having reached a personal milestone of 1000 finds I now feel it is time to give something back by placing my own hides.  As this is a place of fun and easy to get to for me and slightly under used by the local caching community I decided to place a few more none adrenaline caches. In particular this is one of a mini series of three. A traditional, a multi and a bonus. Working out what to do should become clear.</p>
Be aware that cars and trams are nearby so keep an eye on small children. There is some open water in the park too although a fair distance from this cache. Look for something that could be used in a bonus! Be stealthy in your search and please endeavour to replace exactly as found.

LongDescription:
Shirley Windmill was built by Richard Alwen at a cost of £2,000 in 1854 to replace the former post mill destroyed by fire. The mill is thought to have been brought from Stratford and re-erected. A date of 1740 on a beam in the windmill is evidence of re-use of materials from elsewhere.

Contrary to what you might suppose from the name of the road the present mill is in fact a tower mill not a post mill, with a brick built tower supporting a timber cap which can rotate so as to turn the sails (or sweeps) into the wind. The cap is turned by a little windmill called the fantail which is mounted at right angles to the sails, at the rear of the mill, which by a series of cogs and gears turns the cap automatically to bring it into the wind. 

The windmill was struck by lightning in 1899 and again in April 1906, when a sail was set on fire, but the local fire brigade managed to save the mill. The mill was restored in 1927 and in 1935 one of the sails was blown off. The mill was again renovated, and a new Great Spur Wheel fitted. 

The windmill was listed in 1951, it was probably the last large windmill to be built in Surrey. In 1952 the mill and land were acquired by the Croydon Corporation. The mill was threatened with demolition when John Ruskin School was built but it was protected by its listed status and strong public interest. On 1 April 1971, the mill was advertised for sale in the The Times as an April Fool's Day joke by pupils at the school. The headmaster received four telephone calls as a result of the prank. In 1991 the school moved to a new site, the existing school buildings were demolished and the site redeveloped for housing. In 1996 the London Borough of Croydon received a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund to turn the mill into a museum. In October 2008 it was reported that the sails of the mill were being damaged by Rose-ringed Parakeets. The birds have also damaged the spire of the nearby St John's Church where there is a micro cache.

The mill is opened on the first Sunday of each month from June until October, between 1pm and 5pm. Entry is free but a donation towards upkeep and further restoration is always welcomed.

The number of hinges on the entrance door x 333 = ABC 
The last number on the road sign directly in front of the mill = D
The number of sails on the fantail wheel at the rear of the mill cap – 6 = E
The number of circular stepping stones set into the grass forming a semi-circle around the windmill ÷ 3 = F

<p>The Edwardian ornithologist Professor Inigo Tinkle (Frankie Howerd) tells a less-than-raptured audience about his most recent ornithology expedition to the darkest, most barren regions of Ham in search for the legendary Parakeet, which is said to fly in ever decreasing circles until it disappears up its own rear end.</p>
<p>Financing the expedition is Lady Dysart of the house behind you, and the team are led by the fearless (and lecherous) Bill Boosey (Sid James).</p>
<p>On the first night of the expedition, at dinner Lady Dysart reveals that she has embarked on the journey to find her husband and baby son who vanished twenty years ago in this very jungle.</p>
<p>They are believed to have been eaten by a crocodile.</p>
<p>What the group do not know is that watching them from the bushes is UG a Tarzan-like jungle dweller that wears a loincloth (held tight with a nappy pin) and sandals, is this Lady Dysart’s long lost son.</p>

Having reached a personal milestone of 1000 finds I now feel it is time to give something back by placing my own hides.  As this is a place of fun and easy to get to for me and slightly under used by the local caching community I decided to place a few more none adrenaline caches. In particular this is one of a mini series of three. A traditional, a multi and a bonus. Working out what to do should become clear and each GZ over looks a sport location of some description.

Lloyd Park is a lovely park in South Croydon. There is free parking available for several hours on display of a ticket. The roads around offer free parking too but mostly in bays provided.  There is a playground for children and an open air gym.  A pond is slowly being reclaimed by the wardens but mainly it is used for football on Saturdays and Sundays and dog walking. 

If coming through Lloyd park be aware that cars and trams are nearby so keep an eye on small children. There is some open water in the park too although a fair distance from this cache. Look for something that could be used in a bonus! Be stealthy in your search and please endeavour to replace exactly as found.

To find this cache you will be taken to a spot where you should notice 4 very obvious numbers trying to call home (MUFC).
To determine the final location you will need to locate these numbers then calculate GZ with the below simple formula:
North 51 deg 22.(MUFC-MUFC)(M+F-C)(M+F)
West 00 deg 03.(F)(F+C-U-M )(MUFC-MUFC)

LongDescription:
<p>The Cache is just off the main road busy enough to gain easy access but hidden enough not to be in full view of the passing public.</p>
<p>You could park and grab or make a day of this following the other local Caches in the area or maybe a day out wiht dogs and kids and pick them up as you go.</p>
<p>there are no really local shops but it is on a bus route on both sides of the Ridgeway, You could follow this right through towards southmere where you have lakes parks,shops and a lot of horses which is often worth the visit alone.</p>
<p>Although the path has had a facelift im still not totally convinced this would be a nice trip for wheelchair users and might be hard going using a buggy as well.</p>
<p>The cache itself is a small 1.5ml black magnetic micro cache with only a logbook so you will need your own pen or pencil being its a brand new cache you might have some difficulty getting the log out at first.</p>

LongDescription:
Saint Joseph's Catholic Church, New Malden
                                        
In the Middle Ages, the area now served by St Joseph’s was split between All Saints in Kingston and St John the Baptist in Old Malden. Kingston has always been of strategic and economic importance (seven Anglo-Saxon kings were crowned there in the 900s, hence why it is a Royal Borough), and in 1100 a bridge was built there – only the second across the Thames after London Bridge.
Until 1894 this was the sole place of worship for Catholics in New Malden, until the new St Agatha’s on King’s Road, Kingston was opened (often described as St Agatha’s in Norbiton).
Developments to the Church came in 1954 with a shrine to Our Lady, overlooking Kingston Road “to remind the world that England is Our Lady’s Dowry”, which was consecrated by Bishop Cowderoy on 20th May, and the bell which was hung in September of that year, in anticipation of the Golden Jubilee of the foundation of the Mass Centre in 1905. This bell still summons people to Mass every day (except for the 7am one!). 
The latest development is our ‘new’ Parish Centre – building work started in September 2005, and it was officially opened by Bishop Paul Hendricks on 15th September 2006.

Cache is now a nano and is located outside the church grounds.
Stealth is required as muggles pop up unexpectedly!

LongDescription:
<p>Pinewoods leads on from the wood at Addington Hills and has many mature oak, sycamore and sweet chestnut trees. It can be simply a matter of following the London Loop signs or can be enjoyed as a separate wood or as a walk onto the Addington tramlink. The woods run from Shirley Church Road, opposite Shirley Church Recreation Ground, to Upper Shirley Road.  The first Ordnance Survey map of Surrey, dated 1863-1868 shows Pinewood as part of a much greater wood which included Addington Hills, Spring Park Wood and Ballards Plantation.  The same map marks what is now the Scout site as a "Pheasantry".</p>
<p>It is a small wood so can be crossed in only a few minutes.</p>
<p>The cache is placed just off the path but due to the tree cover at the time there will no doubt be some error on my readings. There is no need to bushwhack at all as the ground around GZ has tracks and well worn animal routes all around and probably a mountain bike route. So if your GPS is pointing you straight through a bush or into a garden please find another route. No need to go near any gardens such that you would be seen unless the owners were stood right at the fence looking for you.</p>
<p>The woods are frequented by dog owners so be aware of muggles nearby. The terrain can be muddy and in the woods there are some slopes. If coming from Shirley Church Road it will be flat and could be managed in a wheelchair with assistance but from the Oaks Road end you will encounter some slopes.</p>
<p>The cache has no pencil or swaps. Please rehide carefully.</p>

<p>The development of West Wickham between the two World Wars necessitated the formation of two new parishes - St Francis of Assisi and St Mary of Nazareth.  The parish of St Francis was formed as a conventional district in 1933, out of the old parish of West Wickham.  The chapel of St Augustine in the High Street was then re-dedicated to St Francis and utilised until the new church was built in 1935 by architects J E Newberry &amp; C W Fowler. The small chapel served for some years as a church hall.<br />
The present church hall, adjacent to the church was built in 1960 on the site originally earmarked for a vicarage.<br />
<br />
St Francis church consists of a nave, chancel, south aisle, north aisle (added 1973), vestries, kitchen, creche and an upper room for meetings.  The nave is divided into five bays by lofty slender stone pillars with brick arches and a small clerestory.  A platform for a nave altar has recently been provided in front of the screen.  The walls are faced externally and internally with cream coloured sand-lime bricks.  The open timber roofs are of low pitch, and of British Columbian pine.  The seating, including the chancel, can accommodate more than 300.  The wooden rood screen was salvaged from a bombed church at Folkestone.  The tower adjoins the chancel on the south-east.  The church was badly damaged during the 2nd World War, resulting in the loss of the East window, the organ and part of the north wall.  The temporary East window was replaced in 1980 with a double-glazed window showing St Francis with his animals.  The entrance is through a south porch at the western end of the church.  This porch contains glass windows given by a parishioner in 1954.  Above the porch door is a carved stone from Canterbury Cathedral.  The style of the building is late fifteenth century and early sixteenth century English Gothic, freely treated and adapted to modern methods.<br />
<br />
There is a carillon of eight bells which are chimed.<br />
<br />
Ornamental cast iron railings outside the church, which came from the old Church House at Westminster, were saved from requisition during the Second World War on artistic and historic grounds.<br />

<p>Carry On Cruising is the sixth Carry On film and was released in 1962. It was the first in the Carry On... series to be filmed in colour.</p>
<center><img src="http://img.geocaching.com/cache/7f55ce57-bff4-4c47-86bd-4e5a1c631449.jpg" /></center>
<p>In true Carry On tradition, you may not be able to catch a liner from GZ but you could take a quick cruise across the Thames on the luxury ferry.<br />
It's a seasonal foot/bike ferry which was started by Walter Hammerton in 1908 who charged 1d for each trip. It departs from the Twickenham towpath in Marble Hill Park, nearby Marble Hill House (home of George II’s mistress, Henrietta Howard, Countess of Suffolk) arriving at Ham House, the Stuart mansion built in 1610, on the Middlesex side. A picturesque and popular way to travel.<br />
<br />
Please supervise your children as this is close to the river.</p>
<p>Plot summary: Captain Crowther's lot is not a happy one. Five of his crew have to be replaced and at such short notice before the voyage begins there isn't much to choose from. Not only does he get the five most incompetent shipmates ever to sail the seven seas, but the passengers turn out to be a rather strange bunch too. The SS Happy Wanderer will never be the same.</p>

Hints: The biggest rock around.
LongDescription:
When this present global warming began ten thousand years ago the glacier that carved out the Thames Valley left behind much in the way of mineral debris in its wake as it melted. The slow moving glacier which inserted vast pressure on the bedrock grinded up all loose rocks into pebbles and sand in the same action that a millstone does.
Sarsen stone, being very durable, remained as a large boulder, but its surfaced was smoothed as it rubbed against the gravel like sandpaper.

This particular sarsen stone apparently came from the middle division of the London Lower Tertiary Sandstone and is of similar age, origin and composition to the sarsen stones found at Stonehenge.

The name sarsen is derived from the Anglo-Saxon words sar meaning &#8216;troublesome&#8217; and stan meaning &#8216;stone&#8217;.

Because of their durability they have often been used by man as foundation stones for churches and bollards to protect corners of buildings from wagon wheel damage. 

This stone was retained as a curio by the local residents. 

Many thanks to Ealing Council for the approval of this Earthcache.

To claim this Earthcache;
1.	Your log must contain at least a photograph of your GPS on the stone.
2.	Email me the answers to the following 2 questions; 
What are the approximate dimensions of this sarsen stone (Length x Breadth) and what is the precise distance that this stone was moved by man (from Hanwell Station) to this location according to your GPS?

No picture and/or incorrect answers equals no tick!

Ham House

<p>The Ham House ghost tour. Word of a haunting at Ham House first appeared in 1879. It was a written account by Augustus Hare.<br />
<br />
"There is a ghost at Ham. The old butler there had a little girl, she was then six years old. In the small hours of the morning, when dawn was making things clear, the child, waking up, saw a little old woman scratching with her finger against the wall close to thefireplace.<br />
She was not at all frightened at first but sat up to look at her.<br />
The noise she made in doing this caused the old woman to look round, and she came to the foot of the bed and, grasping the rail, stared at the child long and fixedly.<br />
So horrible was her stare, that the child was terrified and screamed and hid her face.<br />
People ran in and the child told what she had seen. The wall was examined where she had seen the figure scratching, and concealed in it were papers, which proved that in that room, Elizabeth had murdered her first husband to marry the Duke of Lauderdale."<br />
<br />
Other Occurrences of the Paranormal<br />
<br />
House steward Victoria Bradley has seen footprints at the bedchamber of the Duchess.<br />
After turning on the light, she said she saw footprints by the bed, facing the fireplace.<br /></p>
<p>There have also been footprints seen on the staircase. Others who work at the house have reported smelling pipe tobacco in the dining room. Anne Partington-Omar, the manager of Ham House, says there are things that happen there that just cannot be explained.<br />
It is said that the Duchess walked with a cane at night. Many people report hearing tapping in the corridors at night.<br />
Some have even reported seeing the ghost of a dog a King Charles cocker spaniel on the grounds of Ham House.<br />
<br />
Like many older homes, Ham House has a long history, with some of its inhabitants having questionable character.<br />

The FTF Series
This series is run by FantasticCat (The FTF Greater London #1 cache is GC1N994) and is a continuation of the series that Dorsetgal started in Dorset, after hearing about it how it got established in the US on the Podcacher Podcast. Hopefully in time it will become established nationwide!
As Groundspeak has now prohibited the publication of caches which required you to hide another cache as a condition of logging the FTF find, you do NOT have to place another cache as a condition of logging the FTF but it would be nice if you did (particularly for YOU!), so the chain is not broken!
Guidelines for this series are below:
1. FTF'er should place the next cache in the series (in this case, The Curse of the FTF #21!) within 1 month... Otherwise the curse will prevent you from ever getting another FTF again!!! Muhahahahahahahaha!
2. You can only be a FTF for this series once. This spreads the FTF love around, and gives others a chance to play along.
3. Cache can be any type of cache (Puzzle, Multi, etc.), but I do ask that you set it in Greater London (there are 33 London boroughs making up Greater London; Enfield in the North down to Croydon and Bromley in the South, Hillingdon in the West through to Havering in the East).
4. You must include this set of guidelines in your listing for the series. I (FantasticCat) will be happy to answer any questions concerning the guidelines or about the placing of caches to those who have not placed a cache before. By way of clarification, there is no requirement besides the standard signing of the cache log to prevent you from logging this cache when found. Everyone should log their find, and hopefully the FTF person will play along and place another cache, but it is in no way a requirement for logging your find.

LongDescription:
This series is a joint effort by Psylola and Grandflutterby, designed for geo grown-up’s, geo-kids and geo-dogs.
 The caches are placed along the River Shuttle, which is a small tributary of the River Cray. All caches are placed within a 10 minute walk from roads to allow for park and grabs and all are on public land, on or adjacent to the River Shuttle so available 24hrs. Dog walkers are welcome in all areas and if the kids need entertaining there are play parks along the way and the river is shallow, clean and safe for a paddle in many places – or to cool a hot geocacher’s feet.
 We will eventually place caches along the whole river which starts in Avery Hill Park and joins the River Cray at Hall Place in Bexley. We hope you enjoy the series. Happy hunting!!

<p>Sitting snugly between Richmond and Twickenham lies the village like community of St.Margarets. <span style="line-height:1.6;">Within the village there are many tree lined roads, yummy resturants and many independant shops.</span></p>
<p>Twickenham is internationally recognised as the home of England Rugby, and the stadium near by provides many matches, and will host the 'Rugby World Cup 2015' - an event that is just starting as I set up this cache!</p>
<p>As well as this, nearby St Margarets is a film studio. The studio has provided important post production studios in the UK. Films such as 'A Fish called Wanda' and 'Shirley Valentine' were filmed here. </p>
<p>Many noticeable historical people such as Horace Walpole, Alexander Pope and Henrietta Howard (mistress of George II) have lived in Twickenham and Richmond during their day, and have left some of their beautiful architectural building/pieces behind - places that you can still visit and enjoy today. </p>

LongDescription:
The ninth in this series, Springfield, is of personal interest to us Creepy Crawlies!! The two male Crawleys lived here, above the school, as their father was the caretaker here for 20 years until his death in 1974.

You are looking for a 35mm film canister.  Please be aware of muggles as this is near to housing. REMEMBER TO LOOK FOR THE BONUS CACHE CLUES. 

The house was known as Springfield and was built in 1890.  In 1930, it became the HQ of West Wickham Social Club and continued until 1938 when a Complusory purchase Order was placed on the building for the Local Education Authority but the War put things on hold.  St Nicholas’ School was the first Day Special School (for children with learning difficulties) opened in Kent and moved to this site in 1954 from a small building at Churchfields Primary School.  As mentioned, we have a personal connection to this house in that their father was the caretaker for the school for 20 years.  In 1985 the school moved to the former Hawes Down School and the name changed to Knotley House, a Dr Barnado’s Home.  Very recently the site was acquired by developers and flats and houses built.

<p>The City of Westminster Cemetery was founded in 1854, and the Kensington Cemetery one year later in 1855. These cemeteries owe their origin to the need to replace London’s overflowing churchyards and burial grounds. The Burial Acts (eg the Metropolitan Internment Act of 1850) compelled local authorities to establish burial grounds outside the built up areas of the city, and this resulted in a ring of new cemeteries being established each serving an area of London.</p>
<p>The original catchment area of the Kensington Hanwell Cemetery was the comfortable middle class parish of St Mary Abbots in North Kensington which had been built up with stuccoed terraces between 1830 and 1850. The original cemetery covered some 15 acres, but by the 1870s the number of internments (averaging 800 per year) made it necessary to add a further three and a half acres to the west side of the cemetery. At the same time the Burial Board decided to forbid the burial of those who had lived outside the parish. In 1880, plans to tunnel under the railway line to a new 13-acre plot proved abortive. By 1924 it was decided that the Hanwell cemetery was virtually full and eventually a new cemetery was opened at Gunnersbury.</p>
<p>The Kensington Cemetery (compared with the nearby Westminster Cemetery) follows a more informal, picturesque layout pattern, but with a long, straight avenue of yew and holly leading from the narrow Uxbridge Road frontage directly to the chapel, which is set in the middle of the cemetery. The Gothic entrance arch, lodge and chapel were designed by Thomas Allom, surveyor to the Ladbroke Estate in Kensington. The cemetery originally had two chapels, but the Dissenters’ chapel has gone and the surviving chapel suffered from the partial demolition of the east end in 1972. The meandering paths are heavily planted with cedars, pines and yew trees giving a more hidden and remote character than the Westminster cemetery.</p>
<p>Enough of the history stuff, so on to the cache. It is a short offset micro cache. Count the number of arches (=A) and small stone mock gables on the top of the arched wall when viewed from the south only (=B) on the east end and use the below formula to find the final cache.</p>

<p>The cache is placed in the large verge by Oaks Road in South Croydon. This is a narrowish road and yet very busy so please do not park up close to the cache but utilise the car parks either at the junction of Oaks Road with Coombe Lane just before the tram crossing, or at the Coach House, Coombe Woods  opposite Oaks Road or if you want a walk at Lloyd Park cafe (display a free for 3 hours ticket) for Lloyd Park.

There is an interesting legend is that Whetstone so called because soldiers sharpen their swords at the Whetstone before going onto the Battle of Barnet!

     Unfortunately it would appear that Whetstone is called Whetstone because it was a settlement on the West of Finchley and this name first appeared around 1398 many years before the battle of Barnet in 14 April 1471 so the legend is probably not true but you can see the sword marks in the stone!

     It is thought that the stone is the base of a medieval cross, which some used to sharpen blades).

     There is a genuine Medieval Building close to the Whetstone at 1264 High Road Whetstone the former site of the photographers Studio Cole. It is worth going inside to see the wattle and daub walls.

<p>The City of Westminster Cemetery was founded in 1854, and the Kensington Cemetery one year later in 1855. These cemeteries owe their origin to the need to replace London’s overflowing churchyards and burial grounds. The Burial Acts (eg the Metropolitan Internment Act of 1850) compelled local authorities to establish burial grounds outside the built up areas of the city,and this resulted in a ring of new cemeteries being established each serving an area of London.</p>
<p>The Westminster Hanwell Cemetery was established by the St George’s Hanover Square Burial Board with the purchase of 12 acres of land in Hanwell in 1853, to provide a new cemetery initially for the exclusive use of their own parishioners. By 1883 an additional 11 acres were acquired, making 23 in all. The cemetery was consecrated by the Bishop of London on 6 July 1854 and the first internment took place on 2 August 1854. The cemetery was transferred to the Metropolitan Borough of the City of Westminster under the provisions of the London Government Act of 1889.</p>
<p>The layout of the Westminster Cemetery, by Robert Jerrard, follows a clear grid arrangement. On the Uxbridge Road frontage is an impressive set of decorative railings and gates with Bath stone piers, and a lodge (said to be the largest cemetery lodge in London) with a sculpted relief of St George over the door. An avenue of cedars leads from the lodge to the Gothic styled chapel, which is also by Jerrard. The perimeter wall around the cemetery is particularly fine. A small catacomb range is built into the west wall.</p>
‘There is, as one would expect from a wealthy borough, a sense of opulence about the cemetery. Only the chapels are disappointing, although large, their lumpy Gothic style does not fulfill the promise of the approach . . . Several mausolea line the path from the gates but they are strangely box-like, with the exception of the pink granite Keller mausoleum in the Egyptian style. Elsewhere stone angels in every imaginable posture are the favourite unimaginative motif, frequently adorning tombs of the innumerable retired colonial gentry, soldiers, planters and missionaries who are buried here. South-east of the chapels is the grave of one of these tough empire builders, Himalaya Robinson, who died in 1902, ‘The daughter of a soldier she was as an infant borne on the strength of Wellington’s Peninsula Army’.’ (London Cemeteries, An Illustrated Guide and Gazetteer, Hugh Mellor 1981).<br />
<br />
<p>Enough of the history stuff, so on to the cache. It is a short offset micro cache. Find the date that Honorable Hannah died - DDMMYYYY = ABCDEFGH and use the below formula to find the final cache.</p>

<strong>LEE NAVIGATION</strong>
<p>The River Lee Navigation is a canalised river incorporating the River Lee (also sometimes spelt River Lea). The river runs from Hertford Castle Weir to Bow Creek/Limehouse Basin, where it meets the River Thames. Historically the river was used to transport goods from Hertfordshire to London, particularly grain. Today the area forms part of the Lee Valley Regional Park, Tottenham Marshes, Walthamstow Marshes and runs parallel to the London 2012 Olympic Park. Extremely popular with walkers, cyclists and fishers, the pathways offer a great opportunity to see an abundance of wildlife and some of the rather beautiful and quirky barges moored at different points along the river. This is also a great walk (or cycle – the path forms part of the National cycle network) if you are looking to avoid tramping through tons of pre and post winter mud as the paths are mostly gravel and really well looked after. Some areas along the walk are nicer than others so be prepared...this is London and as fantastic as it is, some spots aren't so pretty.

About the Church.

The Annunciation is a church in the Catholic tradition of the Church of England.  It is part of the diocese of Rochester under the pastoral and sacramental care of the Bishop of Edmonton and a member of Churches Together in Chislehurst and Bickley.

In the 1860s, small houses were being built for workers in the village of Prickend, or West Chislehurst.  Canon Francis Murray, Rector of Chislehurst, realised that the area was rapidly developing and needed its own church.  The church of the Annunciation was funded by the people of Chislehurst, designed and built by James Brooks, consecrated in 1870 and became a parish church in 1871.  Some benefactors had argued that a simple brick building would be sufficient but Francis Murray was part of the Anglo-catholic revival and his vision was for a lofty building with beautiful stained glass and wall paintings designed to uplift and inspire the worshiper.

The Almshouses stand beside the Churchyard and were built to provide homes for twelve aged parishioners of Chislehurst

“If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication.
There is also a Church Micro Stats page found via the Bookmark list”

Emmanuel church was founded in its present location in The Grove, West Wickham (just off the High St) in 1929. It was a Congregational church although the Fellowship had been meeting since the late nineteenth Century in a hall in North Rd. Emmanuel became part of the United Reformed Church in 1972 when the Congregational and Presbyterian churches in both England and Wales united to form the new denomination.<br />

*****This cache gives you value H = 8 *****  No room in cache to put a bonus clue!!

The Swan has been here for at least 270 years and served as a place for public meetings, for example, vestry meetings and inquests.  It was documented in 1839 that travellers could “have a good bed and, if need be, put a good horse into a good stable”.

It is a Grade II listed building and the present building is substantially of c1840 construction, the earliest named record is in 1749.  The High Street was know as Wickham Street and in 1485 was known as the Commonway to Croydon.   Until 1935 there stood an ancient elm in the middle of this junction and it was called Stocks Tree.  West Wickham had stocks for the punishment of minor offenders.   This was the centre of village life where, until after the 1st Great War, old men would sit under the tree and woman would pause in their shopping to exchange views and gossip. It was a busy place; children and animals running around everywhere.  You can read the plaque at edge of flower bed by traffic lights for more info.


Wickham House
On the opposite corner still stands what was Wickham House, designed by Richard Norman Shaw in 1868 and was listed in a Sale Particulars in 1875 as “a Residential Estate of about 65 acres”. What you see now was actually the rear view of the house. Ownership of Wickham House changed many times and was eventually sold to Robert McAndrew for £20500.  He was a 44 year old merchant and ship owner and had no money worries.  He and his family lived comfortably there for 44 years and played an active part in the community and gave freely of his time and his wealth.

There is a memorial window in the north aisle of St John’s church commemorating Robert McAndrew and a fountain in Woodland Way as a memory to his wife, Margaret.

<p>All Saints, Carshalton, was recorded in the Domesday Book. The tower is the oldest part of the present building and it bears all the signs of having been there before the Norman Conquest. It is thought that parts of the tower are probably XI century or possibly earlier.</p>
<p>About 1150 a nave was built to the west of the tower, together with a north aisle, both demolished in late 19th century rebuild. In about 1200 three bays of a south aisle were added; these and the lower exterior stonework are visible to-day as the outer south aisle. At about this time the arches beneath the tower space were altered and a chancel (now the Lady Chapel) was added, Within two hundred years or so the windows had been filled in and replaced with larger ones, and the late XIV century timber roof was added.</p>
<p>Sir William Scawen, founder governor of the Bank of England, was responsible for a fine monument and for raising the roof of the outer south aisle to accommodate it. His neighbour Sir John Fellowes, a director of the South Sea Company did something similar in the former north aisle.</p>
<p>At some stage in XVIII century a gallery was placed across the west wall, and then along the raised aisle walls. The chancel was for a time used as a school, and a vestry room placed where the altar now is.</p>
<p>By the time Lord Victor Seymour became rector in 1884 significant parts of the church had become unsafe. The Blomfields, uncle and nephew, were commissioned to carry out the re-design of the north side of the church. So the church we see from the ponds is the work of Blomfield whilst the church seen from the churchyard on the south is medieval with later additions.</p>
<p>The interior of the church has much gilding and painting and a decorated organ. There is a beautiful painted screen of the 12 apostles. If the church is unlocked it is well worth a visit, or if not you can get a glimpse through the windows from the churchyard.</p>
<p>Around the ponds can be seen many ancient buildings, including The Greyhound PH, dating in parts from around 1700, Woodmans, the 16th century building, originally a priest’s house and later a butchers with the meat hooks still hanging outside. Honeywood which faces the pond houses the local museum. Alongside Honeywood is an enormous London Plane tree over 200 years old and with a girth of over 16 feet, said to be the tallest London Plane tree. These ponds are fed by natural springs and are one of the main sources of the River Wandle. See photos below.</p>
<p>To find the cache go to the above co-ordinates where you will find the tallest memorial in this part of the churchyard dedicated to Admiral Wallace Houston and his wife Caroline Frederica. She was born on AB November CDEF and died on G August HJKL. Cache is 25mm film canister.</p>
<p>The cache can be found at: N51 FK.(G+C)(E+F)D W00 BJ.(L+F)L(A-E)</p>
<p>You will need to cross the main road and you will find a pedestrian crossing outside the Co-op in the High Street. Please do not push the cache out of reach - it now has a 'tail' for ease of extraction!!</p>
<p>If you follow the river downstream through the park you will reach Carshalton Baptist Church CM. If you have children with you there is an excellent children’s play area in the park. _______________________________________________________________</p>

Just visited the cache and replaced container and log book.  You are now looking for a small ammo box.

The triangle is your path between the car park, a fabulous view and the cache itself.

The car park is located at: 51 21.675N  000 03.378W.
From here walk down to the viewing platform at: 
51 21.784N  000 03.557W

The view is north over Central Croydon.  You can also see the Crystal Palace mast, The Canary Wharf Tower and even Windsor Castle.

From here go down in to the woods and hunt the cache.

The cache is harder to find in summer because of the tree cover but if you are in the right place there will be sky visible above you.

Good luck!

Hints:
At the junction of three paths go downhill to the large fallen silver birch tree.  Cache is at the root end under logs.  Tree is not on the path.

LongDescription:
Barking (BK) History Barking garage was opened in 1924 by the London General Omnibus Company to cater for the increased demand from the new housing estates springing up in Becontree. Barking is remembered by many enthusiasts as being the last garage to operate RTs on 7 April 1979. In 1992, it was intended to close this garage, along with those at North Street and Seven Kings, in favour of a new super-garage at Chadwell Heath. As it turned out, this super-garage was not built due to the land for it being contaminated, and only Seven Kings closed.[1] Thus, by 1994, Barking found itself with a scheduled requirement for 109 buses, mainly Titans and DA-class Optare Deltas. From 3 March 2012, Stagecoach have gained the contract for route 275 and will be operated from this garage. Bus types in use:- Dennis Trident 2 9.9m &amp; 10.5m / Alexander ALX400 for routes 5, 15, 101, N15 and as trainers. Optare Versa 10.4m for route 396. Alexander Dennis Enviro200 Dart 10.2m for routes 62 and 366. Dennis Dart SLF 10.2m / Plaxton Pointer 2 for route 366. Alexander Dennis Enviro400 10.2m for routes 62, 145, 169, 387 and 687. To be introduced on routes 101 and 275 from March 2012. You are looking for a 35mm Film canister, log and pencil. Inside the pot you will see a Safety Driving badge. 17 years at Victoria Bus Garage [now closed in 2000]. Add to the total another 9 years - those I spent in Barking Garage, serving the customers of Barking and Dagenham, Havering, Tower Hamlets and Redbridge. You are looking for a 35mm film canister - log + pencil.

<p>The area you are visiting is now known as The Keep previously The Barracks. Please take your time to read the plaque above your head at GZ.<br />
THE REGIMENTAL DEPOTS (KINGSTON-UPON-THAMES)<br />
The barracks were built on agricultural land, the fields of Park Farm still being shown on three sides of it on a map of 1879. Park Farm belonged to Lord Liverpool, the buildings cost £40,000.<br />
There have always been soldiers stationed in Kingston. Situated at a Thames crossing and on the road between London and Portsmouth, it was always a busy place. Seven Anglo-Saxon Kings were crowned in the King’s town, and later its proximity to Hampton Court Palace probably added to its importance. In 1554 the protestant Sir Thomas Wyatt attempted to overthrow Queen Mary, but after burning the bridge his rebellion came to nothing. One hundred of his followers, including himself were executed in the town as traitors.<br />
It is recorded that regular troops, including the 8th Foot (later the King’s Liverpool Regt) were stationed in Kingston in 1685. Most of his standing army was usually on standby at Hounslow Heath which is only a few miles away. Regulars in those days were billeted out on the civilian population, this was one of the reasons why the army at home was unpopular and later why it was more convenient to keep most troops abroad. The Militia and Volunteer Units, being locals, could usually live at home or be billeted near by, so barracks were not required until Victorian times. Early in the 19th century there was a Militia Barracks in the Fairfield.<br />
In 1782 county titles were introduced for Regiments of Infantry, ostensibly to foster a connection with a particular county, but primarily to establish a base for the ever present problem of raising recruits. In April 1873, eight years before their final amalgamation, the 31st and 70th were linked together into 47 Sub-District Brigade. The Brigade Depot was established at Kingston and it was here that recruits for the two Regiments were trained. The barracks were designed by the Royal Engineers as a ‘Brigade Depot Centre’, and recruits for the 70th Foot, then in India were trained there. The barracks were built in 1874/75 and according to the Surrey Comet, ‘it was the last word in barracks building for its time’. Its designer was a Major Siddon RE.</p>

<p>Carry On Sergeant is the first Carry On film. Its first public screening was on 1 August 1958 at Screen One, London. Actors in this film who went on to be part of the regular team in the series were Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Hattie Jacques, Kenneth Connor and Terry Scott. The film also starred William Hartnell, Bob Monkhouse, Shirley Eaton, Bill Owen, Eric Barker, Dora Bryan, Norman Rossington and Terence Longdon. The film was based on a play The Bull Boys by R. F. Delderfield. Norman Hudis adapted this into a script with John Antrobus contributing additional material. CARRY ON SERGEANT is a normal expression for an army officer to use. Carry on Sergeant had not been conceived as the start of a movie series; only after the film's surprising success did the producer and director set about planning a further project. After reusing the Carry On prefix and some cast members.<br />
Plot: The film revolves around Sergeant Grimshawe, responsible for training National Service recruits at Heathercrest National Service Depot. Grimshawe is due to retire after the current intake has completed their ten weeks training and is desperate to leave his job as a success. A rival sergeant (Terry Scott) bets him 50 pounds that the latest lot won't be champions (This was actually Scott's fee for the part).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQlEnKoQv_8">Film Clip</a></p>
<p>Grimshawe, a gruff but well-meaning soldier, tries his best, but has grave doubts about the abilities of the new intake, who include newly-wed Monkhouse, intellectual Williams, hypochondriac Connor and effeminate Hawtrey. The film follows the group as a whole and several of the trainees individually as they progress from almost certain failure to surprising success after they learn of the bet and decide that they will be the champion platoon. The film ends on a happy note as the now-qualified recruits bundle into a truck and wave goodbye to a smiling Hartnell, now dressed in civvies and retiring from the Army.<br />
The film reflects the social structure of the time, with class divisions being very much in evidence. Grimshawe assumes one conscript is bound for officers' training because of his upper class bearing. It also highlights the difference between career soldiers and conscripts, and the differing backgrounds from which they are drawn. The characters can be seen as stereotypes, (Terry Scott's Paddy O'Brien being the Irishman, Gerald Campion the fat man), but the calibre of the principal actors makes them believable individuals.<br />
As the first film of the Carry On series, this set the tone for what was to follow, with emphasis on character to the fore. A few double-entendres were present, even at this early stage. The scriptwriting services of Hudis were retained for the next five films, and producer Peter Rogers and Director Gerald Thomas stayed with the series until the end (1993's Carry On Columbus).<br />
Hattie Jacques appears as a formidable but sympathetic army medical officer, who examines Connor many times, but can't find anything wrong with him. This is the pattern of many 'Matron' types Hattie would play throughout her Carry-on career.</p>

<p>This cache is where the railway used to cross Croham Road, where, although not in use anymore, and a bit worse for wear, you can still see the former railway bridge.</p>
<p><b>History:</b></p>
<p>Connecting Woodside and Selsdon, after several delays during construction, the Woodside &amp; South Croydon railway finally opened on the 10th of August 1885. It met with limited success throughout its history - running at a loss when closed due to the first world war, and running reduced services during the second world war. When the line finally closed, it was only being used by 200 people a day.</p>
<p>After opposition to closures in the 1960's, the line eventually closed on the 13th of May 1983 - partly because of the poor condition of the track, and, due to the low usage of the line, British Rail could not justify the renewing of it.</p>
<p>Today, tramlink now occupies a large portion of the original line from Coombe Road onwards. The track is still visible on the remainder of the line (although very overgrown), and several bridges and footbridges still exist, as well as the sites of some of the stations.</p>
<p>Part of the <a href="http://www.bml2.co.uk/">Brighton Mainline 2 (BML2)</a> proposal is to reuse the route of the railway as part of a much needed new line to Brighton, which would reduce the load on the existing over-burdened Brighton mainline, and Tonbridge mainline, as well as providing alternate routes in case of any problems.</p>

LongDescription:
This area of East London/Essex has the advantage of the River
Roding passing through it which attracts wild life that prefers wet
areas and the whole area is a country park. There are many
activities held through out the year. This area has had quite a lot
of money spent on it recently so it's starting to look nice.
You still have to watch out for the odd motor bike but they get
every where. If you come at night try and borrow a bat box its
great fun to spot them and listen to there high frequency noises.
You could also watch some rugby at the weekends if you are lucky. I
hope you like the River Roding cache and there are more to follow.

LongDescription:
<p>The film featured a change in style, becoming more openly sexual. These changes brought the film closer to the official <em>Emmanuelle</em> film it parodies. This was the only film in the series to be certified <u>AA</u> restricting audiences to those aged fourteen and over.</p>
<p><strong>Emmanuelle</strong> is the lead character in a series of French erotic movies based on a character created by Emmanuelle Arsan in the movie <em>Emmanuelle</em> (1959).</p>
<p>The name Emmanuelle (and its various spelling combinations) has gone on to become a by-word for erotic film.</p>
<p>The spoof <em>Carry On Emmannuelle</em> (with double "N") has Kenneth Williams as the French ambassador to London (Duc Orleans maybe).</p>
<center><img src="http://imgcdn.geocaching.com/cache/large/dfba4852-861a-4288-ae86-e383d63e4a28.jpg" />
<center>
<p>Emmannuelle returns home to London to surprise her husband the French Ambassador, Emile Prevert. Emile who lost his libido by landing on a church spire during a parachute jump, the sexually frustrated Emmannuelle finds pleasure with everyone from the Lord Chief Justice to a chat show host. However, after a visit to her doctor, she discovers she is pregnant and decides to settle down to a faithful marriage with Emile ... and dozens of children.</p>
<p>Orleans House was a Palladian villa built by the architect John James.</p>
<p>It was subsequently named after the Duc D'Orleans (Emile Prevrt maybe).</p>
<p>Over the years many families had lived in the house. Louis Philippe, Duc d’Orleans, later the French King lived here for two years. While Louis Philippe gave his name to the house, it was his fifth son, Henri, Duc d’Aumale, who truly made it his home. Leaving France in 1848, Henri purchased Orleans House in 1852. Orleans was to become home to Henri his wife Marie-Caroline de Bourbon-Siciles and his family for almost twenty years.</p>
<p>Orleans was home to servants from all over Europe. Nineteen were French.</p>
<p>A servant or one of the family may well have been the mysterious Emmanuelle.</p>
<p>Orleans House was demolished in 1926, and the area formerly occupied by the house used to quarry gravel throughout the 1930s. The outbuildings and Octagon Room were saved by the efforts of a local figure, Hon. Nellie Levy, who left it and her collection of 18th and 19th century pictures to the borough. It was converted into an art gallery in 1972.</p>

<p>Another in the ever expanding Church Micro Series, started by Sadexploration.</p>
<p>At the end of the 19th century the area between the A21 on Bromley Common and the railway line at Petts Wood was still mostly farmland and woods. There were two farms here - Turpington and Blackbrook, with a few scattered cottages and one or two larger houses. A large number of small terraced houses began to appear in the area immediately east of Bromley Common, and roads such as Southlands Road and Chatterton Road were laid out. St. Luke's was built between 1887 and 1890, with the church tower not being completed until 1910. The church was built by Arthur Cawston.</p>
<p>The high clerestory has clear glass, making the church light and airy whilst the aisle windows contain a set of sixteen windows by James Powell and Sons. The same firm also provided the striking mosaics at the west end, and also around the altar.</p>
<p>When the church was first built a single 14 pound bell was suspended on a frame, but this was replaced with a new bell by Gillett &amp; Johnston (order dated 27th Nov 1889) for £45. When the tower was completed in 1910 a ring of bells was cast and hung by John Taylor. This work was done in memory of John Wheeler-Bennett, C.B.E., J.P.</p>
<p>The cache is a small 2ml tube, hidden close to the church. Stealth will be required.</p>
<p>This cache replaces an earlier one for this church (GC2XMJ3) by R0L0, which has now been archived.</p>

LongDescription:
<p>This is the twenty first in a series of caches placed close to or associated with drinking fountains or animal troughs. This is a replacement for the original archived  cache and is located on Coombe Lane,  South Croydon.<br />
<br />
The Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association was an association set up in London by Samuel<br />
Gurney an MP and philanthropist and Edward Thomas Wakefield, a barrister in 1859 to provide free drinking water. Originally called the Metropolitan Free Drinking Fountain Association it changed its name to include cattle troughs in 1867, to also support animal welfare.<br />
<br />
Water provision in the nineteenth century was from nine private water companies each with a geographic monopoly, which provided inadequate quantities of water which was often contaminated, as was famously discovered by John Snow during the 1854 cholera epidemic. Population growth in London had been very rapid (more than doubling between 1800 and 1850) without an increase in infrastructure investment. Legislation in the mid nineteenth century gradually improved the situation; the Metropolitan Commission of Sewers was informed, water filtration was made compulsory, and water intakes on the Thames were forced to be moved above the sewage outlets.<br />
In this environment the public drinking fountain movement began, initially in Liverpool where the local government was granted the ability to buy out the private water companies in 1847. It built the first public baths and then encouraged philanthropic public drinking water fountains.</p>

<p>The cache has a log book but no pencil. Please rehide carefully to avoid it being Muggled.</p>

LongDescription:
Bostall Heath is part of an ancient area of woodland and open spaces that runs between Charlton and Erith in an almost unbroken line.
Much of the land came under threat from builders in the late 19th century and was saved from development only after its acquisition by public bodies. The Metropolitan Board of Works, forerunner to the London County Council, took 155 acres of Bostall Heath under its control in 1877.
With the adjacent Bostall Woods, heath and Abbey Wood, the area became a popular destination for Edwardian bank holiday trippers, who were transported by tram to the terminus at Abbey Wood.

<p>Another in the ever expanding Church Micro Series, started by Sadexploration.</p>
<p>Hawes Lane, West Wickham,</p>
<p>( I know this isn’t my GeoCaching manor but Im sure you won’t mind this nice incursion)</p>
<p>This Church was used regularly by my Grand parents who I miss so much.<br />
They were a total inspiration for me and my family and where amazing role models.<br />
They would be very proud of me and what I do for a living and this cache location and container is dedicated to them.  </p>
<p>About the Church.<br />
West Wickham Methodist Church was constructed in 1935 and is a beautiful pre war example of local architecture.</p>
<p>Ivy Kathleen Coulson was born in 19th November 1914, second child (of four) of William Thomas Coulson and Mabel Blanche.  Her father was a prominent figure at Penge Tabernacle and Mabel was a Methodist. In 1934 the family moved to Oak Gate, Hawes Lane, West Wickham where the local Methodists used to hire Justin Hall for their Sunday Services. The weekly Thursday Class Meetings and various committees were held in Oak Gate and in 1935 it was decided to build a church on the field opposite.</p>
My Grand Parents were both leaders in the Scouts and Girl guides respectively. Most churches in the area have local Scout and Girl guides attached to them.

<h1 style="text-align:center;"><u><strong><var>Elthorne Park</var></strong></u></h1>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img alt src="http://www.mazefind.co.uk/cms/ohra/History/ElthornePark/Bandstand.jpg" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The name Elthorne goes back at least one thousand years. It was mentioned in the Domesday survey as being one of the six Hundreds of the shire of Middlesex along with Edmonton, Gore, Hounslow, Ossulstone and Spelthorne.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The origin of the park goes back to the 1500s. The original much larger estate, called La Bromeland, was named after the wild yellow flowering Broom shrub, which still grows on the steep embankment of the river Brent.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">In the 16th century Thomas Gresham’s widow bought the freehold of ‘Broomland’ which later passed down through Osterley to the Earls of Jersey.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Fifteen years after the General Enclosure Act of 1801 the estate was reduced to 90 acres and then became known as Park Farm. At one time, with Cuckoo Farm it was one of the last two existing farms in Hanwell.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">In 1908 Lord Jersey started negotiations with the Council and Middlesex County Council about the use of the land. Whilst negotiations were going on he allowed a section of the land to be used as a temporary recreation ground.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img alt src="http://s0.geograph.org.uk/photos/58/73/587338_5c65d0ea.jpg" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The farmland was finally broken up c1910 and some of the land is now open space and playing fields but seven and a half acres of the site were used to form Elthorne Park.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Lord Villiers and his mother, the Countess of Jersey, officially opened the Park at 3pm on 11th June 1910. The opening, which had been postponed because of the death of King Edward VII on 6th May 1910, was said to be a grand affair, held in a large marquee with tea being served in the nearby mission church of St Thomas’s.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">In July 1910 the first event to be held in the park was a show by the Hanwell and Greenford Horticultural Society, which later became an annual event. The following year in April a two-day celebration of George V’s coronation took place, which included music from the local Hanwell Band and a march by children from St Ann’s school to Elthorne Park.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Although gentlemen’s toilets were installed in the park from the outset, ladies had to hold on for a further inconvenient two years before emancipation brought relief in 1912.</p>
<h1 style="text-align:center;"><strong><u><var>The Hanwell Sarsen stone</var></u></strong></h1>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><u><var><img alt src="https://d1u1p2xjjiahg3.cloudfront.net/245238c1-a7b8-48c0-9cc2-b1b9649d2fc7_l.jpg" /></var></u></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">It is thought probable that this large glacial boulder was swept down from the frozen north during the Ice Age.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">In the early 1900s, when Townholme Crescent was being excavated, this stone was discovered in a layer of gravel just below the surface. Many stone implements and cinerary urns were found around this stone indicating that it was an important burial place for the Saxon tribes of those times.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">It is interesting to note that other Saxon remains were found in 1886 where Oaklands School now is which is within a hundred yards or so of the Sarsen Stone excavation site.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">There are several versions of the origin of Hanwell's name and one of the contenders is 'Stone by the spring' which involves the well known 'Hanwell or Sarsen Stone'. The stone, (han) would have been originally deposited in the Ice Age close to a little stream, (wiella), which -Flowed into the Brent and was excavated from where Townholme Crescent now is.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Early Christian Saxons used the word Saresyn (i.e. SARACEN) as a synonym of the words pagan or heathen, and as these stones were popularly associated with Druid worship, they were called Saresyn (or heathen) stones. In the tin mining areas of Cornwall old attle or rock was called 'Sarsen' or 'Jews' leavings' on the assumption that Saracens, Jews and Phoenicians had once worked there.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">The famous Hanwell ‘Sarsen’ Stone can be seen just inside the main entrance to the park. </p>
