Fascinating. Thank you. Although not dragons, I think that area was in the region where the Martians' heat ray was first used.

Yes! Horsell Common, where the Martians first landed, was a couple of miles from where I grew up and I used to play there as a kid. I was, however, disappointed that in the War of Worlds the progression of the invaders was described as passing through Byfleet with no mention of West Byfleet!

A bitter disappointment. 😊
