Professional Oven Cleaning Coulsdon CR5

Four-million years old fossils were found in Coulsdon. This area was inhabited since the Neolithic period. Remains of settlements show that humans lived here during the Iron Age, Bronze Age, Roman, and Medieval Age. The first mention of this CR5 area comes from 675 when an ealdorman of King Wulfar gave Cuthraedesdune to Chertsey Abbey. The 1086 Domesday Book records this area as Colesdone. There are many different spelling variants. The most plausible name origin theory suggests that Coulsdon means “hill belonging to a man called Cuthrǣd”. Another theory says that the name comes from the Celtic word “cull” which means bag. This area is part of the historic county of Surrey.

Diplomat Nicholas Carew and Jerome Weston, 2nd Earl of Portland owned Coulsdon in the 16th century. Starting with 1782, the Byron family held this area until 1921 when the last Byron died. The nearby hills are rich in chalk and flint. This attracted the Hall family of lime and coal merchants. In 1864, they established lime kilns here. The local quarry known as Stoats Nest Quarry had an internal railway station. In 1898, the Halls wanted to build cement works but they didn’t obtain permission. Ullswater trading estate was the Halls’ trading depot. The lime works ceased in 1961.
