	Wandle Valley Railway - Reflections
		The Wandle Valley Railway layout was an S scale layout based on the LB&SCR station at Mitcham, Surrey in the 1880s era, a time of colourful Stroudley locomotives and trains.
		The Wandle Valley Railway layout was intended to be a simple continuous run layout primarily to show a variety of trains authentic to the line in the 1880s.
		During the 18th century and the early part of the 19th century, the valley of River Wandle was one of the most important centres of industry in the south of England.

	History Section - Parks and Open Spaces (Wandle Park)
		Wandle Park is amongst the oldest public open spaces in Croydon and like many parks of its time resulted from the Industrial Revolution and the awareness of the need for recreation in the increasingly industrial town.
		The original intention was to divert the Wandle to run through the lake and thus keep it full but, while digging it out, sufficient water was found to maintain a fair depth in the lake.
		The Wandle was therefore taken through the park by an entirely separate conduit so that the sudden storms would not have the effect of fouling the water in the lake.

	Environment: Restoration: Meet the Wandle
		After at least a thousand years of human attention, it's hard to imagine the Wandle's virgin state, but its northward flow was certainly powerful enough to bury mammoths under deep layers of gravel at Mitcham while the last ice age was still receding.
		Naturally, where the river was still clean enough, this record number of stair-stepping mill-pools, tails and leats would also have provided excellent habitat for large and fastidious trout, and there's evidence to suggest that the millers saw their fishings as a valuable extra income stream.
		As far back as 1610, when the Wandle's millers thought they saw their livelihood threatened, they successfully fought a plan to pipe away just a tenth of the headsprings to supply the capital with drinking water.

		The River Wandle is a unique South chalkstream which flows north from Croydon and Carshalton to join the Thames at Wandsworth.
		In Victorian times, the Wandle was one of the hardest-working rivers in the world, with 90 mills along its 11 mile length It's steep passage and swift flows were harnessed to power water mills producing everything from silk and snuff to copper and gunpowder.

		For many centuries the River Wandle rose from a spring near the present Swan & Sugarloaf pub, on Brighton road and flowed through the Haling area.
		However, as Croydon's population grew, the Old Town streams became little better than open sewers and were filled in or culverted from 1840 after outbreaks of typhoid and cholera.
		The Wandle now continues underground, through where the Gas Works used to stand, under the Purley Way road and into Waddon Ponds.

		Despite the industrial development along the Wandle, Merton was, at the beginning of the 19th century, still primarily a rural farming community.
		Gradually, the character of the area was changing as industry developed further around the Wandle and residential development began in the late Victorian period north of the High Street and along Kingston Road and in Merton Park.
		During the 20th century, the waters of the Wandle became less important to the industries remaining in the Merton Abbey complex and, in the 1980s and 1990s, the majority of these closed down or moved elsewhere.

	Pikle - London Cross - 14 - Past wonders along the Wandle: trout, squabs, snuff and a hammer-beam hall
		This is the Wandle, a water course rising in a series of springs along the foot of the North Downs, and which, at this point, is still very much in its upper reaches.
		The Wandle has always been too small for navigation but served well for mills and to produce power for working metals, leather and even gunpowder.
		Although the Walk no longer extends to the church, the survival of the existing section is thought to be due to its inclusion in the large Queenswood estate after the sale of the Carew lands in 1859.

	Wild Trout Trust
		The River Wandle was a renowned chalkstream, with catches of large brown trout Salmo trutta commonly made by anglers.
		What was apparent in the reaches of the Wandle visited was that floating pennywort was less abundant in shallow, free-flowing reaches with a relatively high water velocity, exactly the conditions that brown trout, chub and barbel require for spawning.
		For the Wandle to flourish, it is vital that both its place in the visual landscape and standing with the local community are enhanced.

	Wandle Afc 2 Merton Rovers 1 (from Your Local Guardian)
		Merton's high tempo game deserted them after the interval and Wandle edged the scrappy midfield battle that was the story of the second period.
		A hopeful long ball bounced fortunately for the pacy Wandle forward who steered the ball past Steve Lance with aplomb in what proved to be the winner, ensuring Wandle's passage to the fourth round of the Surrey Cup.
		However, it was Wandle AFC - top of the Kingston and District Division 2 - that progressed against Division 5 high flyers Merton Rovers, who were left to rue their missed opportunities in the first half, which they dominated.

		On Thursday 13th September I fished the Wandle, a showpiece of urban river regeneration, at Morden Hall Park as the guest of Alan Suttie, who can claim a hefty chunk of the credit for bringing the river to life from its former status as a sewer.
		For I saw both my big roach and chub in the river three days ago - both very easy to spot, as they were almost motionless on the bottom, their flanks glaringly visible as they swayed gently from side to side as the current dictated.
		Light industry abounds along the banks of the Wandle, and potential sources of serious pollution are many.

	Wandle Industrial Museum: Explore the secrets of the powerful river wandle's industrial History
		The Wandle Trail - The original guide first published in 1988 to assist those who wish to explore the River Wandle and its heritage.
		Its steep (relative to its length) descent made it powerful and its reliable water supply meant that, at its height, some 60 wheels were being driven, leading to the variously phrased quote of it's being the most industrialised river in the world.
		Our Museum is committed to ensuring that the secrets of this river's industrial past reach the young people growing up here today, and the emphasis that the National Curriculum places on history of local communities fits well with our objectives.
