Shepperton description |
---|
Shepperton is a suburban village in the borough of Spelthorne, in the county of Surrey in England, 15 miles (24 km) southwest of Charing Cross, London, bounded by the Thames to the south and much of the east and which is in the northwest bisected by the M3 motorway. Shepperton is equidistant between the towns of Chertsey and Sunbury-on-Thames. Shepperton is mentioned in a document of 959 AD and in the Domesday Book, where it was an agricultural village. * In the early 19th century resident writers and poets included Haggard, Peacock, Meredith and Shelley, attracted by the Thames beside which they and other wealthy residents lived, painted at Walton Bridge here in 1754 by Canaletto and in 1805 by Turner. Its accessibility was improved by Sunbury Lock and Shepperton Lock built in the 1810s supporting the trade and agricultural barges and later the use of residential narrowboats. * The suburbanisation of Shepperton began late for Middlesex, in the latter part of the 19th century, with the construction in 1864 of its railway — the owner of its manor, William Schaw Lindsay sponsored the venture which had aims to be extended via Chertsey and connect to the South Western Main Line. Shepperton's proximity to burgeoning London led to small businesses being established along its high street by the end of the century. * With its film studios and production facilities and electrified railway since the 1930s many more homes have been constructed; its population rose from 1,810 residents in the early 20th century to a little short of 10,000 in 2011. It is an age-diverse commuter settlement. Expansion continues in the form of occasional new housing developments; curtailed by natural considerations — much of the land is formed of protected flood meadows, small lakes or fertile alluvial soil farmland which in part form a green buffer to its motorway. Its Green Belt has The Swan Sanctuary and two SSSIs, one of which is managed by Surrey Wildlife Trust. |
