Very interesting, Frakey! So presumably, if what I have read is correct, East Cheam Manor is the settlement that moved to what's now known as Cheam Village. It seems that bend in GGL was the centre of something, though. Billy, are you saying Frakey and I think we know everything? Well, I can't speak for Mark but I'm pretty sure he doesn't think that, and I certainly don't. We're only speculating about local history, so there's no need to be so rude!  |

I think my main issue with your original statement Sallycat was the connection with the village move and the new church. I could be wrong though but as i said i was under the impression that the village had been there significantly longer than in the 1860's.
Cheam School stood where Cheam Park now borders the village (Park Lane area) before it got bombed in WWII. Now based near Newbury, Prince Charles attended it as a child apparently.

 This site is so lucky to have at least two people who know everything.
............and are never wrong.Sorry for any confusion.I was just trying to compliment two of the cleverest people i've ever come across - especially in football circles ! Mark Frake is not one of them !

Someone ought to put up a "Do not feed the troll" sign. If you ignore him, Mark, he might go away (please).

Sorry, I'm probably not making myself clear. We know Cheam Village has been where it is for centuries, but the satellite village or part of Cheam that used to be at that bend in GGL had apparently moved towards the centre of the village after the church was built. It's not clear whether the opening of the new church somehow caused a smaller, more local church to close. I don't know the full story. |

Thanks for the picture Fluffy.A fantastic looking Pub in which i spent many happy hours both sides of the Bar!  Coincidentally, via Twitter, somebody posting a picture of pub guide in the programme including The Blackwater and The California (now The Belmont): "Sutton United 1978, handy match programme pub guide. Wonder if @itsamberrambler wrote this?" pic.twitter.com/IXr91udw |

Of course, Dave and Brenda Reed (Cricketers) both went on to be bar steward at SUFC. In the 70s programme editor Simon Clennell started to provide advice on pubs for away games and then our book, the Sutton United Good to Non-League Football, produced when we went into the Conference in 1986 included, for every club, a suggested local pub and guide to local radio.

The California. How exotic was that when you were drinking under age? Duke. You would have loved it mate. Full of nurses from sutton hospital and the marsden. I liked it so much i got a job at the hozzy. Thanks for the pics of the blackwater. I don't remember that being an aggro pub. Used to liaise with a very tricky chicky back there in the early eighties. It was open fires and lovely jubbly. All good stuff
