<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Spelthorne is now officially a district
in Surrey and I think that now all services including Police
(which used to be the Met) are now provided by Surrey despite it
being north of the river. <br>
<br>
The meanderings of the Thames have also moved little bits of
Spelthorne district south of the Thames and little bits of
Runnymede borough (the Godley hundred thanks to Chertsey Abbey)
north of the Thames. Just to confuse.<br>
<br>
Surrey County Council is still based at Kingston which of is of
course in the Greater London Authority and not Surrey! There can't
be many councils with Council Offices ouside the area they
administer!<br>

Just because Dove gets it wrong it doesn't mean everyone else has
to although I admit that consistency between various records is
good: what happens for records back when Middlesex was recognised?
Consistency in time would be more useful, I suggest.

<div>As to Staines, Ashford and some other towers being in Surrey,
this is just wrong. They are in (the district of) Spelthorne, a
"hundred" of Middlesex. That Surrey County Council has some
responsibility for services in the area is not relevant.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Notwithstanding that, Fulham and Putney are in different
"counties" by any definition, and different Dioceses. They are
about a quarter of a mile (or less) apart at either end of
Putney Bridge.</div>
