Evaluation by R Poulton of SCAU, for the Hawthorns School, in advance of the construction of new sports and teaching blocks. The only feature of some interest identified was the robber trench for a former garden or courtyard wall, probably of 18th or 19th century date. (314)

Evaluation and a subsequent watching brief were carried out by R Poulton of SCAU, for P&O Developments, on part of the redevelopment of this hospital site. Evidence was revealed for formal gardens and structures presumed to relate to the precursor of the present, mid 18th century, Botleys Mansion, and also for 17th to 18th century brick making. (314)

Report by W Goddard on the original water supply to the Sanatorium, built 1871-84. An artesian well supplied the water storage tank in the water tower, which provided the hydraulic pressure for hot and cold water services around the hospital complex. Over the years, a series of artesian wells had to be sunk as silting affected the earlier ones. During redevelopment of the hospital site one of these former wells was revealed. J Mills reported that a further water reservoir was a below ground tank, also revealed during the recent works. (SIHG 98)

Report by P Tarplee on research into the estate’s hydraulic rams, by the Surrey Gardens Trust. The rams were supplied in 1922 by Green & Carter of Somerset, who have comprehensive records dating back to 1836. These show that a ram was supplied to the estate in 1875. One was also supplied in 1851, with valves for another ram, presumably installed before the start of the existing records. (SIHG 101)

A watching brief by D W Williams of work to this property, which cuts into the slope below the castle. Subsidence resulted in the destruction of a 19th century brick baking oven and a stone and brick revetment, before recording could take place, as well as the rear wall of this 16th-17th century building. Subsequent observation revealed a buried soil layer, which contained early Mesolithic flint blades and 13th century pottery, that had been disturbed by excavation, presumably for sand, at some point in the 13th century.

A watching brief by D W Williams of SyAS on works to underpin a toilet block recorded part of a substantial structure constructed of chalk blocks with brick facings; the floor of the structure was of clay with parallel timbers at short distances apart. The structure had been infilled with brick rubble and silty clay. No dating evidence was recovered but the structure is probably early 19th century in date and presumably relates to water management in the landscaped gardens around the Priory. (302)

Historic landscape survey by N Bannister, for the National Trust, of its Box Hill estate. The oldest boundaries on the estate are thought to be those bounding the old trackways, such as along Box Hill Road. The shaws dividing the woodland/downland from the fields are also probably medieval in origin. The present woodland reflects the change from traditional wood pasture mixed with sheep walks to amenity woodland in the 19th and 20th centuries. The oldest trees present on the estate are the large leafed limes at the bottom of the Whites, which have been coppiced.

Building recording by Beryl Higgins & Vivienne Ettlinger of one of the former abattoir buildings, to be retained and refurbished, identified it as 17th or 18th century in origin. A watching brief was undertaken by N Shaikhley of SCAU, for Ian Vincent Property, during construction of housing on the remainder of the site. A ceramic vessel, identified as a ‘tyg’ of 17th century date, was found in spoil. No features of archaeological interest were revealed; the site was seen to have been very disturbed. (314, 321)

A watching brief was maintained by C Currie on further works at this wharf on the Wey Navigation, for the National Trust. This confirmed the findings of the evaluation carried out in 1995; earlier, but undated, phases of wharf construction are sealed below 19th and 20th century levels.

Survey by T P Smith of MoLAS of buildings to be demolished as part of the redevelopment of Eashing Mill. The buildings were the remnants of the main mill building and two conjoined cottages to the north west. The style of the mill building, and its use of two-tone brickwork, belongs to the second half of the 19th century, probably to the last quarter of that century. The cottages are so close in style to the mill building that they were almost certainly built at more or less the same time - perhaps as a single project.
