DG. Modern history, many/most people would know Caterham as the birthplace of Caterham Cars, builders of the 7.
'Three minutes apart on foot' - from Upper Warlingham to Whyteleafe yes; longer (for me, at least) the other way - the clue is in the name....
*Majors General
Titter ye not. I have driven a Caterham - great fun it was!
Thanks for the tip; Titsey Place now firmly on the list for this summer!

I walked this part of the NDW on a particularly grey January day in 2011 and about the only photograph I took was of the same Meridian marker. It looks like someone's cleaned it up a bit since then.

Would agree about the blight of motorway noise. It affects quite a lot of the NDW. What about the quieter road surfaces promised by John Prescott years ago?!
Majors general? Like seconds lieutenant or fields marshal?

"They are both general officers." "What kind of generals?" "Major generals, not brigadier generals or lieutenant generals."

Now, as for a corporal captain...

Interesting house and occupants. One of the last generation of the Leveson Gower (Leveson with a v, not a w) family to live there - Henry "Shrimp" Leveson Gower - captained the England cricket team in three Tests in 1909/10.

So if the Leveson Gower family died out, who lives there now?
I giggled. Sorry!

Though it was probably more of a titter.... I'll get my coat!
Dg is getting scarily close to home now.

East Surrey Museum, wrong bus DG. You'll be wanting the 407 which goes from Caterham Valley to Sutton.

404 is my local hoppa bus that ends it's trek at Caterham on the Hill (not surprisingly - up that big hill)

dg writes: Oops, yes, wrong bus. Updated, ta.
The building housing the Museum WAS a house until the mid-60s - it was a dentist's practice, and mighty scary.
