Thank you to Peter Connolly and Ros Rawling who showed me around the fantastic East Surrey Museum last week.
We discussed the fascinating history of Caterham and East Surrey, from William Garland, known as the father of modern Caterham, the significance of Caterham Station during the Industrial Revolution, to the very different wildlife from Surrey's past. I knew that wooly mammoths wandered around prehistoric Surrey, but Peter and Ros told me that we used to have hippos as well!
If you get the chance, pop down to the Museum, you’ll definitely learn something new.
