History and geography

The locality gained its main barrier from what had always been its village in the early 1960s, a dual carriageway, and it hived off shortly after with the building of a community hall and establishment of its own residents' association. It is however, ecclesiastically, still strongly tied with Stanwell in the Church of England, its parish. Fewer than six of the original medieval buildings stand in the hamlet.[2]

It sits on the part of the parish on strongly fertile, partly densely wooded, alluvial soil, whereas most of Stanwell was associated with the stony ground which makes up gravel deposits near to the surface of the soil, as throughout the area south of Heathrow Airport to the River Thames.[2]

Local government

The community is in the Stanwell North

ward, as used by Spelthorne
and for certain statistical purposes.

Amenities

A parade of shops is here, followed at one end by a

Carlone Ltd, a private bus operator, runs route 442 half-hourly through the village between Heathrow Terminal 5 and Staines upon Thames town centre via Stanwell and Ashford.[5]
