A long straight lane with public bridleway status.
Green lane used to take alot heavier traffic in the past. It used to be the service/delivery entrances for the Caterham Barracks and St Lawrence Asylum which both backed onto this lane.
The Green Lane stroll series is designed to make you think outside box and bring you out of your geocaching comfort zone, and also tell you some history about the area too.
For more than a century, the Guards Depot here Caterham played a major part in military history, the War Department purchased the land in 1875, the Guards Depot was built in 1877, at a cost of £46.273.00
Thousands upon thousands of recruits, Grenadiers, Coldstream, Scots, Irish, and Welsh Guardsmen, passed through the depot on their way to the various Regiments.
Caterham Barracks ceased being a training Depot in 1960, after which one of the five Regiments of the Brigade of Guards, were stationed here until 1995.
On Thursday March 23rd 1995, the flag of the Nijmegen Company Grenadier Guards was lowered for the last time and the Guardsmen marched out.
