Exploring EWELL | Surrey

- Опубліковано 19 жов 2024
- In this Vlog I’m exploring the Village of Ewell in Surrey, a once rural Hamlet now engulfed by Greater London and the sprawl of suburbia. An ancient settlement grown out of it’s Ancient Spring, Ewell still holds onto much of its historic past (amongst the constant traffic travelling through) as I find out walking around and discovering its rich heritage.

#Vlogging #EwellSurrey #History
Thanks for uploading. I grew up in Ewell, from the early 90s, family moving away in 2012. I now live in New Zealand, so watching UA-cam clips is the best way I can "revisit." Certainly looked a beautiful day to visit, and though I Imagine the traffic is now notorious, it seemed peaceful enough on foot.
Interestingly, I believe there was a big gunpower explosion at Hogsmill in the past, and several people died. You can find evidence of this in the gravestones at St Mary's - sorry I don't know the date or even the year!
Many thanks for commenting and glad you enjoyed the video. I think you are correct about the explosion at Hogsmill and may research that tragic incident further .
Very interesting, thank you.. I go past these places regularly, it’s nice to know about them..the jail always fascinated me.
You're welcome Sandra.
A couple of years ago it was this beautiful crisp autumn day and me and my brother went for a walk around there. I grew up there and left 25 years ago but never appreciated the beauty and history of that place
Glad I stirred those memories.
I have been going through (not often stopping) Ewell for over 50 years. Great video showing things that bring back fond memories of visiting my Nan in Carnforth Close going towards Chessington. Thanks for a great video!!!
Cheers Mr West. Appreciated.
Really enjoyed this. Im local myself. Live in Epsom area. Nice to see all the historical areas of Ewell village. You have done the area proud. Will be subscribing.
Thanks very much Peter for the comment, much appreciated. Have Subbed back.
@@MarqEnglish Appriciate that.
Great video thank you so much
You're welcome.
I was at Mangaa Carta for the 2015 800 year celebrations. They had the Queen and a flotilla of decorated boats that went down the Thames,
Fantastic well done just moved into the area and now you got us want to explore a little further than what we have.
Wonderful area Shaun, so much to discover.
It is amazing just how much history can be discovered and which survives in such ‘villages’. I’ve only ever really passed through on the bus to Wallington. Thanks for making this video, Marq.
Thanks Andrew.
Well nice mark i lived in Ewell in 60s 70s played in the tower in the church yard and the building site of bourne hall 😃 had my first pint in the king William in 1972 😀happy memories
Thanks Rob, great memories.
There is a lovely lock up in Penkridge Staffordshire that I visited. It is now the town museum I must upload a video about it.
I've uploaded it now. worth a revist from you and a revisit with a better camera from me.
I love the music you play between talking. Very interesting video Marq.
Thanks Claire, it's from the UA-cam Music Library x
You are correct about the tunnels Marq. I have a rare book containing a map of them.
Another point of interest is the dog above the arch into Bourne Hall. Apparently the tail fell of at some point and was replaced with a bulls horn by a local butcher. This could well be a myth of course. That's just what I was told.
Finally worth a mention is the painting 'Ophelia' by British artist Sir John Everett Millais . The setting was the banks of the Hogs Mill River.
Thanks for the video !
Thank you very much for that extra info. Very interesting.
Yes, lots more history about the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood staying in Ewell and famous paintings made along the Hogsmill.
Very interesting, thank you. I wonder about the significance of the dog on the archway just after the start of the video.
I've no idea to be honest.
Nice video. I used to work at the upper mill. I remember the pubs. I don't know if it's true but I was told Sir Ollie Reed owned once the upper mill.
Thanks, I've not heard that about Oliver Reed.
Trusting to memory (silly thing to do) did he go to the Castle School?
@@alansandell804 Don't know but he did once climb a Dorking Fullers pub chimney, naked, at Christmas!
@@MarqEnglish Howdy, born in a house in meadow walk in 66, upper mill was a family home when i was little and i went in the residential part several times. Ive seen the room where the water can be diverted to run the machinery, it was not installed and the sluice was dry, we played football in that dusty big level, the home was above. Set in the most beautiful park with the big pond around the mill house on one side, the hogsmill appeared from under a tunnel on the other. I used to swim and float on an inflatable lilo in that pond with my friends. Near the tunnel was an epic place to catch sticklebacks It became empty for a while then was refurbished and let, changing hands etc. Behind the mill is a path that lead to the bee keepers Apiary, it used to be very busy in there at times and they didn't mind us watching but told us never to go in, not a chance! There are more water sluices and run offs in the park which make it very interesting. Memory says Oliver Reed's involvement was via a company called Ace Pud while it changed hands a few times (as did the lower mill which I've never been in though my childhood garden lead to it. A magical place, Ewell, growing up there and in that era was a gift.
@@astronomyabc9552 Thank you for sharing those wonderful memories (I'm sure it was a lot quieter then too).
I live there and there is a lot of historical places
I lived in a small old terraced house in West Street, (No 70) the story was that they were built for local workers and a lot of the construction used stone from the demolished church
Thanks for that info Graham. That's really interesting.
Lovely. Lived down the road a bit, over 20 years ago. Sorry to hear the high street is looking run down, but then so many are these days.
Thanks 😊
It's a shame they couldn't have found a way of incorporating the old tower into the new church.
Yes, odd that.
I live here
Watch this film or Ewell be sorry. ;)
*or be haunted by the ghost of Agnes! : D
I am growing up in ewell with my Mum & Dad (shoutout)and lil bro (im 11)
Hi,No evidence that it was used as a jail,just storage.x
You sure about that? It was the Town's lock-up and housed the fire engine in later years..
@@MarqEnglish yes 90% anyway.Only over night,for horse and cart delivery on the morrow.Romans first used ewell for r and r,and that water wheel was from the naff gunpowder factory that made France lose the war.
Thanks for the extra information. Appreciated.
Henry dug a tunnel from Hampton court to Epsom downs big enough for a horse and cart.its said that at night you can see the hat of the horseman going across the road
On upper high st.epsom.
@@eliotheath7975 Naff gunpowder factory?! Only powder factories along the hogsmill were licenced under QE1.
