    Tips

    January 18, 2023

    The pond and viaduct road across it were built in 1844 at the start of Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson's ambitious attempt to build a series of villas on his estate. The intention was for the road to lead to the houses, but they were never built, except for a couple of foundation stones. His plans came under criticism by those against development on the heath, the ranks of which included Charles Dickens.
