Not everyone knows of the history of Forest Road. It was not until I was looking for an interesting place to set a cache for the 2007 Binfield Cache Bash that I came upon this location and learned something of the history of this road. Here is a link to a web page that contains some information about it and other local roads.
The inscription on the plaque reads:
'This Road was made by the Subscription of
The
Countess of Leicester.
Lady Hervey.
Mrs. Montague.
Mrs. Hewer.
Mrs. Barrum.
Rd. Neville
James Edwd. Colleton Esqr.
Saml. Bowes Esqr.
Romsey Bowes Esqr.
Rd. Palmer Esqr.
Surveyed by Mr. Basnett.
1770.
The cache, is a 35mm film pot
Please replace the cache where you found it.
