The interesting History of Coulsdon
Coulsdon has a strong and vibrant local history, which includes ancient burial mounds on the Farthing Downs, an ancient church recorded in the Domesday book, Marlpit - an industrial chalk quarry, and Cane Hill Hospital (a site currently under development). Appearing in the Domesday Book as Colesdone it boasted one church and rendered £7 to Chertsey Abbey. Its only other domesday assets were 3½ hide, 7 ploughs, and woodland worth 3 hogs.
The town later lay within the Anglo-Saxon administrative division of Wallington hundred, but is now firmly established as a locality in its own right. Indeed, Coulsdon now covers a multitude of geographical settlements - from Old Coulsdon, through Coulsdon Woods, the High Street (Brighton Road) to the Mount (Clockhouse)
Coulsdon has recently benefitted from the long awaited Bypass, which has enabled a greater community feel to the town centre. Whilst mourning the loss of Woolworths and the local bookstore in recent years, The Pembroke (a Smith and Jones branded pub Group)and Cafe Nero opened in the past few years. There is a substantial percentage of empty shops and plans for a supermarket on the old Red Lion site are making very slow progress. Brighton Road is dominated by takeaway food stores and chicken and chip shops but prominent in the middle of Coulsdon is the head office of the world-famous Jane's Information Group. That Coulsdon is set for further modernisation is visible from the plans to add a sports centre, further supermarkets[3] and the proposed altered usage of the Cane Hill Hospital site. However these three projects are making little progress.
Around Coulsdon are attractive and important open spaces, largely chalk downland - the beginning of the North Downs. Farthing Downs and Happy Valley are managed by the City of London Corporation and are popular with walkers. The London LOOP footpath around London passes through on the route between Hamsey Green and Banstead. The Coulsdon section was the first of the 24 to be opened.
