Lovelace Bridges

Fifteen bridges were built to facilitate the transport of timber by horse-drawn carts.

The bridges were built where the tracks crossed existing bridleways or roads.

[1] The bridges were constructed from local flint and brick; they all had plaques with their name and dates.

The Earl had his own brickworks in West Horsley/Ockham and the lime for the mortar would have been local, possibly from chalk pits in Kiln Field Coppice.

The saw mill was near Brockhole Cross, near the junction with Outdowns on the Epsom Road.
