The River Wey
and the Tillingbourne both join up by St Mary's, constructed in eighteen forty six.

The river was very important to Shalford  giving much employment and wealth to the village.

In the good old days "the Great Fair of Shalford" is thought to have been run on a plot of some one hundred and forty acres. That's big!

Buyers and sellers would come from a wide area of England. In those days it was a very important trading post indeed. That's something else I didn't know. Large and small barges laden with produce and consumables, docked at Shalford for hundreds of years. These days it is more a stop for pleasure boats.

Of the original three Mills, only one now exists and is owned by the National Trust and was donated in the earlier  nineteen thirties. The Mill resides on the other side of the rad too The Sea Horse pub
along the A281.                                                                                © Copyright Colin Smith

Constructed somewhere around seventeen fifty and is a typical oak framed building. The two Mills, yes originally there were two Mills at this spot in Shalford. One of which ceased operating back in the nineteenth century and is now a beautiful private home.

The rest of the building houses the other mill which ceased operating in nineteen fourteen. More info
