This cache has been archived.

Southerntrekker: This cache has been in need of care and maintenance for some time and as the owner has not repaired/replaced it, I am archiving it.

Guidelines:[i] "You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to maintain proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable amount of time - normally a few weeks - in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing."[/i]

Geocache Description:

A small food container holding when first placed:
Log
Landrover Keyring
Scoobie Doo
Packet of seeds

The cover is a bit sparse at the moment but should thicken up in the spring.

The St Helier Estate was built by the London County Council in the early 1930s. At 825 acres, spanning the boundary of Morden and Carshalton, it is the second largest of the Council's cottage estates. The council architect, G Topham Forrest, included as many of the natural aspects as possible in the design plan, such as trees and hedges. This was supplemented with new planting, shrubberies and greens to soften the effect.

The estate was constructed by C J Wills and Sons on a value-cost contract. Monotony was avoided by the use of a variety of materials, such as slate, colours of roof tiles, and bricks. The design incorporates gables, different porches, as well as door canopies and brackets, which had a pleasing effect.

Moreton Green was one of the open spaces provided and contained an aviary in the early years of the estate.
