Abinger Hammer

view map

Abinger Hammer is a small village at the foot of Surrey's North Downs famous for its blacksmith's gong each hour, as seen on the tower on the left.

Until the M25 motorway was built around 1980, this road carried traffic from my area to Kent and the channel ports. It is of course now a lot quieter.

You have done an excellent job at capturing the mood of the area. Whenever I see photos like this, I get all melancholy and want to return to England, my birthplace. V
