Charleshill

Charleshill is a village in Surrey, England. It lies to the west of Elstead and to the east of Tilford in the borough of Waverley. The village lies to the south of Crooksbury Common and near the River Wey.

The local public house is called The Donkey. It was originally converted from two small cottages into a public house in 1850, and at that time was owned by Farnham United Brewery and originally called The Half-way House. During that time it acquired the nickname of “The Donkey”, as before the days of motor traffic, donkeys were kept tethered outside the Inn to help the horses and carts up the hill. In 1947, the name was officially changed.^[1]
