ECRA Areas

The area covered by ECRA is bounded by the main Brighton railway line from Marlpit Lane, crossing Farthing Downs taking in parts of Woodplace Lane, Ditches Lane, Chaldon Way, Mead Way, Bradmore Way, Marlpit Lane to Bradmore Ponds, Stoneyfield Road, to Coulsdon Woods to include Deepfield Way and back to Marlpit Lane.

In addition to the core area, ECRA and its residents are interested in surround areas, particularly the Town Centre which is the Main Centre for all Coulsdon residents whether they are officially in ECRA, OCRA or CWRA? or other close by Associations, some of whom come under The London Borough of Sutton.

Within the ECRA area is the very popular Farthing Downs and Happy Valley with its Saxon burial mounds and Iron Age field system which is a stone’s throw from Coulsdon South Station and the A23. This is managed by the City of London Corporation . The area has been awarded Green Flag  status - an independently judged award given annually to the best parks and green spaces in England and Wales. Friends of Farthing Downs run many events throughout the year, a current list of which can be found on the Dates for Your Diary  Page. Also within the area is the Marlpit Lane Recreational Ground with its Children’s playground, recently updated with lottery money, Bowling Green, Putting Green, tennis, netball and basketball courts.
