The Laleham/Chersey ferry used to come aground at this point linking Ferry Lane on each side of the Thames.
Joseph Ashby-Sterry wrote LALEHAM FERRY in his 'THE RIVER RHYMER' 1913 - ( In joyaunce of June, how the time flies away How bright, but how brief is the long summer day ! )
THE stream runs fleet, the air is sweet,
The clouds almost bereft of blushes ;
The balmy breeze scarce stirs the trees,
And fails to bend the reeds and rushes,
And as we glide at eventide -
How sweet the voice of passing maiden !
The roar of weir now far, now near
The laughter in the punt, lass-laden !
The tender song that cheers along,
The brown-faced sculler in the wherry ! -
Gone is the sun, the day is done
At Laleham Ferry !
We drift away, as fades the day
The oars in the twilight shimmer -
The night draws nigh, the dappled sky
Is ev'ry moment growing dimmer
While glinting bright, some village light
Is gleaming gladly in the gloaming.
The boat's made fast, we land at last,
And bid adieu to River-roaming !
The trip is o'er, we step ashore -
With feelings the reverse of merry -
And with a sigh, we say good-bye
At Laleham Ferry !
