A 19th century route from Dorking to Brockham - not shown at all on the 1813 Old Series Ordnance Survey map, the 1897 Revised New Series map gives it equal status to the Reigate - Dorking Road. While the latter is now the A25, the Coach Road is now only a track, useful as a cycle route.

Now looking north easterly, another view of this idyllic village. The village well is seen on the extreme right.

A fairly common feature in Surrey villages is the old well on the village green. This example has a tiled roof with cross on top. The road cuts across the green which is the site of a large annual bonfire.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Running parallel to the road bridge in [[1822758]]. In the foreground is a patch of Lady's Smock (Cardamine pratensis), a common feature of damp patches of ground in late April, hence its alternative English name, Cuckoo Flower, because its flowering is said to coincide with the Cuckoo starting to call.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Every year a giant bonfire is built on Brockham Green to celebrate Guy Fawkes' Night. It pulls in a huge crowd from miles around.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Equally inviting is Brockham Green's other public house, the Duke's Head. The Duke portayed on the sign is of course the great Duke of Wellington, beside whom all other dukes are lesser men.
