Figge's Marsh Boulders
A Memory of Mitcham.
My older sister and I spent summers in 1959 and 1964 in Mitcham on Thirsk Rd, the childhood home of my English mother. My memories of Figges included the great rectangular, grassy mound of the shelters, but also two huge (to a child, at least) boulders, almost like dolmen or Stonehenge stones. I believe they stood just inside the marsh near the cul-de-sac of St. James in the northeast area. Neither the stones nor the shelter mound are visible on Google Earth. Does anyone else remember the stones or what happened to them, much less their nature and origin? My sister speculated that they'd been unearthed in the creation of the shelters.
