Places to see in ( Cobham - UK )
Places to see in ( Cobham - UK )
Cobham is a village in the Borough of Elmbridge in Surrey, England, centred 17 miles south-west of London and 10 miles northeast of Guildford on the River Mole. It has a commercial/services High Street, a significant number of primary and private schools and the Painshill landscape park.
Cobham is an ancient settlement whose origins can be traced back on the ground through Roman times to the Iron Age. It lay within the Elmbridge hundred. Cobham appears in Domesday Book as Covenham and was held by Chertsey Abbey. Historically, Cobham other than outlying farms comprised two developed areas, Street Cobham and Church Cobham. The former lay on the Portsmouth-London Road, and the building now known as the Cobham Exchange was once a coaching inn. The latter grew up around St. Andrew's Church, which dates from the 12th century.
Cobham fits into a triangle between the River Mole to the south, the A3 to the north and a borderline for the most part on the nearside of the (New) London to Guildford railway line to the southeast – directly west of Oxshott. On the southern border is the historic village, Stoke D'Abernon, part of the small post town, which gives its name to the railway station between the two areas on the line mentioned: Cobham and Stoke D'Abernon.
At the heart of Cobham is the Church Cobham Conservation Area, which was designated in 1973 and includes fourteen statutory listed buildings. Amongst these are Pyports, once the home of Vernon Lushington; the picturesque Church Stile House; and two fine houses overlooking the River Mole: Ham Manor and Cedar House, the latter owned by the National Trust.
Across the river from the church into Downside village, the estate of Cobham Park was the home of John Ligonier, 1st Earl Ligonier, who was made Commander-in-Chief of the army in 1757. In 1806 Cobham Park was bought by Harvey Christian Combe a brewer and Lord Mayor of London. The present house was completed in 1873 by his nephew, Charles Combe, to a design by Edward Middleton Barry: it has now been divided into apartments. At the other end of the village, beside the A3, Painshill Park is a fine 18th-century landscape garden, restored from dereliction since 1980. Painshill House dates from the 18th century and has also been divided into apartments.
Two other large houses on the outskirts of Cobham have been taken over by schools: Heywood is now the American Community School, and Burwood House is now Notre Dame School. Chelsea F.C.'s training ground is nearby, close to Cobham and Stoke d'Abernon railway station and some of its more deluxe private homes belong to Chelsea's players. The Fairmile or eastern part of the parish has a high proportions of mansions and gated roads.
The River Mole provides a setting for Cobham's best-known landmark which is the red brick water mill, constructed Late 18C and once part of a much larger complex. Thereafter, the Cobham Mill Preservation Trust was formed as a sister organisation to the Cobham Conservation Group and took over the leasehold. The building was restored to full working order by the volunteers of the Cobham Mill Preservation Trust, and first opened to the public in 1993. Cobham Mill is now open to the public from 2 pm to 5 pm on the second Sunday of each month between April and October, inclusive.
To the north and west of the town is the A3 trunk road, a major arterial route from London to Portsmouth. This road links to the M25 motorway at Junction 10, immediately to the southwest of Cobham. The A307, Portsmouth Road starts in Cobham and runs northwards to the adjoining town of Esher. This is also known as the old A3. The A245 runs through the centre of the town and leads to Leatherhead in the south-east and Byfleet to the west. Cobham & Stoke d'Abernon railway station, opened in 1885, is on the New Guildford Line from London Waterloo.

Flying Scotsman around the Surrey Hills
On Wednesday the 25th of May A3 Locomotive 60103 Flying Scotsman did two runs around the the Surrey Hills.
The first of the two tours started out at London Victoria the tour then ran to Acton Central, Hounslow and Shalford where the loco had a water stop before returning to Victoria via Redhill and Croydon.
The second tour started in the same way Departing London Victoria, heading to Acton Central, Hounslow and Shalford for another water stop. This time the trains destination was West Brompton again running via Redhill and Croydon.
In this video we see the peoples engine firstly at West Byfleet where the locomotive creeps by due to a restriction imposed, next we see the loco on the Portsmouth Direct line between Woking and Guildford seen passing past Mayford, we then pick up the loco after the water stop as she powers up the 1 in 96 Gradient of Gomshall bank on her return to Victoria and then the final spot for the lunchtime run is just out side Betchworth as she powers towards Reigate.
We next see the locomotive on her evening run and we get two different views at the same spot one as the train rounds the curve just after the train has passed through Virginia water and then once clear of the speed restriction opens up and powers off towards Chertsey and the other from the other side of the crossing with two GoPro's mounted on the fence posts.

A Christmas Tornado - The British Pullman - 08/12/15
December 8th would see LNER A1 60163 'Tornado' take the first of two Christmas Luncheon trips around the Surrey Hills, running via Woking, Guildford and Redhill.
This short clip captures the Pacific as she tackles the 1 in 100 gradient out of Shalford. With no assistance from the diesel, the loco hauls 600-odd tons with ease, basking in the glorious winter sunshine. Just a minute later, the sun had given way to dark clouds and rain!
This may well be my final video before Christmas. In this case, I would like to wish my subscribers and viewers a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year. There will be special compilation videos going live in the New Year, so keep your eyes peeled!

Black Fives meets the Black Widow.
A film of impending disasters, that actually turned out OK. Firstly we go to Rochester in Kent, to catch the last 2013 tour of the two fives on Joseph Cubitt's four span girder bridge over the River Medway, with the castle and cathedral in the background. When I arrived the light was perfect, but 15 minutes before the train arrived, the cloud broke and I found I was shooting directly into a very bright and very low sun. Clicked on the backlit button and hoped for the best. Then it was off to Nutfield, where there was a trespass incident that caused the BTP to turn up, and non arrival of the train. News arrived that over-running engineering works meant the tour was curtailed at Redhill. Just as I was about to drive away, the warning Bing Bong - train does not stop announcement made me get out, grab a camera and get it fired up in time to catch the black fives (hence the wind noise - no time to employ the ext mic). So shots that at one time I feared would never happen, did.

Class 458s on the Alton Line - 25/03/18
During this day there was a possession for engineering works after Byfleet and New Haw. So there was a reduced service and SWR had decided to make the move to use 5x458/5s on the Alton Services, which was interesting so I decided to head out and film my travels and some trains too.
