- Ockford_Ridge abstract "Ockford Ridge is a small housing estate in south east England. Built in the early-mid-1930s, it consists of roughly 200 homes and related amenities. There is also a playground and a basketball court on a green and there was a pub called the King Alfred, It has been knocked down and a couple of new homes have been built in place with the name of King Alfred Court. There is a social club in Coopers Rise and a shop on Quarry Hill, there is also a cemetery and bus stops. St Marks Church provides a place of worship for those residents so inclined.The community is situated roughly between Eashing and Godalming. The council houses have been upgraded with double glazed windows recently and the project is finished.There was a Large manor House called Ockfordwood house which was built in the 1870s by Thomas Cooper. Later converted into flats, it was to be incorporated into Aaron's Hill estate, but it burnt down in the 1950s. Building started in 1931 and was completed in late 1934. Blocks of four were built before any of the semi-detached houses. For its first year it had been variously called 'Chestnut Avenue', 'Chestnut Road', 'Chestnut Green', but it was changed to Ockford Ridge, because the Post Office requested for it to be changed as they were struggling with the constant name changes. The building of the Ockford Ridge and Aaron's Hill estates happened gradually. It began with 200 houses in 1930-1 on Chestnut Avenue, Chestnut Green and Chestnut Road, shortly afterwards renamed as Ockford Ridge. Godalming Council bought the land partly from Eashing Park House and partly from the Godalming Burial Commission. By the late 1930s, Ockford Ridge had a church, shops, a post office and a pub. The first residents didn't just come from the Godalming area but also from the north of England and South Wales. Immediately after the Second World War work began on the Aaron's Hill estate. New residents also came from Poland, Italy, Spain and Germany. In this section you can learn more about the early residents putting down roots in their new homes and community.There were plans of building 119 new homes with the proposed entrance to be in the small car park in Franklyn Road and the houses are to be built behind the school and behind the cemetery.The coniferous trees behind the houses in the cemetery were cut down in the Late Summer of 2011, and more recently new fences were put up to replace the old ones, the brambles and garden/household waste was cleared, there are plans of Smaller, native trees to be planted to replace the Coniferous Trees, this has been paid for by the Joint Burial Committee.".
