About Lower Green
What are the main landmarks in Lower Green?
Two museums sit within reach. The Elmbridge Museum and the Metropolitan Police Mounted Branch Museum are the named collections, and the Metropolitan Police Sports Club Ground, East Molesey holds the open turf beside them. Esher Place and Wayneflete Tower carry the older architecture, with Sandown House and The Old Red House among the other listed names.
Churches make three. St George's Church, Esher, the Church of All Saints and Christ Church take those dedications, while Bramhams Cottage and Grapes Cottage keep the cottage names on the register.
What is the history of Lower Green?
Royal Mills and the Sandown Industrial Complex account for most of what Lower Green does, and the commercial complex they form gathers the district's businesses into one block of ground. Wayneflete Tower is older. It stands beside Esher Place on the register of named buildings.
No founding year is recorded for Lower Green, and its past reads through the dedications of St George's Church, Esher and the Church of All Saints rather than through any charter or grant. The two rivers frame it.
Where is Lower Green?
The River Ember and the River Mole run along Lower Green's edges, and the area itself sits inside Esher, in Surrey, England.
