Croydon Mearbank

Thanks to all for encouragement on Croydon Mere (Mear) Bank

Its existence has almost been overcome by oblivion, though it probably pre-dates the putative nearby Roman road.

It has generated a few local names such as Mere Bank Lane etc. and an enigmatic ruined Bank House

It ran over the old Croydon Airport, and can be seen in some 1930s aerial photos.

I will post more when I have more

Happy to walk with anyone who is in the Croydon Purley area - contact me here.

Is there much left to see on the ground? I live in Tooting so can make croydon/purley in 20-30 mins. I'm only free weekday mornings atm though due to moving to Manchester in a month...

Is it anything like <a href="http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/3713">Diana's Dyke</a>?
