Behind No 376 Godstone Road, Whyteleafe
Sit on the right hand side of the train from Caterham to East Croydon and hope that it will not go too fast between Whyteleafe South and Whyteleafe.
Or find the allotments in Church Road, 300 yards S of Whyteleafe Hill, walk through them towards the railway and look to your right.
W side of Godstone Road, Whyteleafe
300 yards north of Salmons Lane, outside No. 376
The original inscription has been carved out to a depth of about 5 mm. As a result of this and/or subsequent rust, there is a hole right through to the inside.
Well Farm Road, Whytelefe
100 yards from Godstone Road
At both of these locations there may be a post hiding among all that lush vegetation but I have looked very hard and could not see either of them
Stuart Road, Whytelefe
100 yards from Woldingham Road
Viewed from Post 174
Woldingham Road, Whytelefe
junction of Stuart Road
Makers mark on front and rear of the base
Bug Hill, Woldingham outside "Halliloo House"
Limpsfield Road, Warlingham outside Sainsbury's supermarket.
A plaque in front of the post has been removed by vandals
but thanks to Alan C Edwards we can deduce what it said:
In 1994 the site of Chelsham Bus Garage was being re-developed as a
Sainsbury's supermarket.
On 1994 January 24, Monday this post was removed from its original position
at the SW corner of the junction of Limpsfield Road and Chelsham Road to
make room for a roundabout large enough allow articulated lorries to enter
Sainsbury's delivery bay.
On 1994 July 27, Wednesday the post was re-erected at the corner of the new
pedestrian walkway between the bus layby and the entrance to the
supermarket.
IRON BOUNDARY POSTS
The item in Bulletin No. 6 on this subject produced a good deal of information from a number of members. One or two queries are now being investigated and it is hoped to publish a supplement to the next issue of the Bulletin giving a complete list of the posts, or the sites of posts, which are situated within our area.
One thing that should be put right immediately is the statement made in the last issue as to the total number of posts erected around London. The figure quoted was l,700, which was taken in good faith from a newspaper cutting on the subject, but many members have written in to say that 200-250 is much nearer the mark, and their information is supported by contemporary evidence.
