[1] The Esher Mills were mentioned in the court rolls of King John of England where a payment from Roger the Miller for an annual sum of 12 broches of eels was recorded in 1199.

[2] Small cottages have been seen in Lower Green from maps dating back as far as 1871, with the slow extension of housing emanating west from the Royal Mill.

In the 1896 Ordnance Survey (OS) map[7] Island Barn can be seen but it was not until 1897 that the water treatment facility becomes visible and much later the reservoir.

The map also identifies the addition of Mill Mead and several new buildings and detailed views of The Grove and Wolsey Grange.

[15] It is not until 1956 in the TQ16 map[16] that you can see the densely populated area in the east of Lower Green which is connected by the extension of Douglas Road into the Woodlands, the addition of the properties built by Esher District Council can also be seen.
