Clattern bridge that crosses the Hogsmill River is one of the oldest bridges in Surrey and is a scheduled ancient monument. The earliest known reference is in a deed of 1293 and the medieval name of "Clatteryngbrugge" is thought to be descriptive of the sound of horses crossing the bridge. The stone arches on the downstream side are the oldest part of the bridge which until the mid 19th century were only 8ft wide. - Chris Mac (photographer)
