Hollow Ways
Winding their way across the common are numerous hollow ways of varying depths and widths. The pattern is dominated by a north-south trend graphically shown on John Rocque’s County Map of Surrey (1767).
There were four main north-south routes across “Hurt Wood Common”, together with the sinuous route from Sutton through Pedland (alias Pitland) Street to Jeoland and Radnor Farms. Traces of these routes can still be seen today.
