Bradmore Green Pond was dug in 1836 by Matilda Crowe, in memory
of her husband, Philip Crowe. It is now home to a variety of
wildlife including frogs, stickleback fish, ducks, and birds. It is
4 feet 6 inches in depth (1.5 metres). Old Coulsdon, being on top
of a hill, has no springs or streams, so wells had to be dug to
supply water before the introduction of a piped supply.
Bradmore Green Pond is the only one remaining, but the village
had many more in the past. The large long mound, just past the site
of the pond, is the remains of a WW2 air raid shelter.
Parking is available on the nearby roads. This cache is ideal
for children, as in the warmer months there is a possibility to see
the larger wildlife. As there is no protection around the pond and
there are two main roads near by, I would advise children to be
supervised at all times.
I would suggest you to bring a small quantity of bread for the
local residents!
When the cache was placed it had a logbook, pencil and a First
To Find certificate.
Happy Caching
