Here is a recent image of the sand pits on Horsell Common. I have a couple of questions: 1/ Is this the only sand pit on the Common, or are there others 2/ For anyone who lives around the Common and for visitors, when you have seen these pits, have they been like the photo - with water. The photo shows a lot of water erosion around the bases of the tree's nearest the pits, suggesting that water has been in the pits for some time. If this is the case, I wonder if H.G had seen these pits with water in them. I realise there is no mention of water in the pit in his book  |

The cilinder lay near the sand pits, not in them...
"Find it he did, soon after dawn, and not far from the sand pits. An enormous hole had been made by the impact of the projectile, and the sand and gravel had been flung violently in every direction over the heath, forming heaps visible a mile and a half away. The heather was on fire eastward, and a thin blue smoke rose against the dawn".
- Chapter 2, The Falling Star

I had a p*ss in there on a dark and drunken night, and fell asleep on that bench...

There has been water when I've visited.
