A concerned group of residents have formed a “Friends of Bradmore Green Pond” group to raise awareness of the state of the pond. The pond and St John’s Church are the two most photographed places in Old Coulsdon.

The pond was at one time a main source of water for the village of Coulsdon, also it was next to the forge. The white building on the right was Bradmore Farm, which is now a conservation area.

Bradmore Green is at the junction of Coulsdon Road and Marlpit Lane. It was designated part of the Bradmore Green Conservation area centred around Bradmore Green and Grange Park in 1968 because of its considerable architectural interest and its strong historical interest. This card shows St John's Church, the original Parish Church in the background.

Bradmore Green was part of the lands of the Manor of Coulsdon, which were acquired by the Abbey of Chertsey in Saxon times and was held until the dissolution of the monasteries in 1537.

Has a footpath, which leads to Old Lodge Lane in Purley

The church was built in 1954 at a cost £12,500. When the church was first opened the minister was Rev Ronald Newman, he was there for 29 years before his retirement.

The current minister of this church is Malcolm Newman son of Ronald Newman, who was Minister when the church first opened in 1954.

Grange Park was formally part of Squire Byrons, Coulsdon Court Estate. It was purchased in 1929 from the owners of the Coulsdon Court Golf Course, for use as an open space or pleasure and recreation ground.

Named after Henry Lacy a former landowner. It is at the entrance to Tollers Estate, so called because it was built on land once part of Tollers Farm. Pre-fabricated houses were developed after the Second World War, houses and bungalows were built around them. In the early 1960’s the prefabs were replaced with maisonettes.

This was the original Parish Church of Coulsdon, which also served Smitham, Hooley, Kenley and Purley. The earliest known Rector, John of Medmenham, was installed in 1261. The church was rebuilt in 1269 to 1282. The church was extended out of the south side of the building and the new worship area was consecrated in 1959.

The church occupies the site of one standing here in 1086. The churchyard, which is well timbered and contains an ancient yew and a great chestnut, adjoins the grounds of The Grange

In the porch of this Grade I listed Church is a map of the graves in the graveyard, a useful source for family historians

The current church was built in the late 1960’s to replace the one at the side of it. The old church is now being used as a community hall

This Public House was first known as the Tudor Rose, it then changed its name to The Harvester and since this photo has been taken, it has changed back again to the Tudor Rose. The outside of the building has changed a great deal, so already this card is living history.

This unusual shaped building now a local landmark, was opened in Bradmore Way in 1963.

The only pub in Old Coulsdon, as the Fox is just over the border in Caterham. It was first known as the Tudor Rose changing its name for a short time to The Harvester now reverted back to its original name
