Colliers Wood

Redirected from Collier's Wood

Colliers Wood is an area in south London, England in the London Borough of Merton.

There was a mill on the River Wandle at Colliers Wood continuously from the time of the Domesday Book, until the last mill was replaced by a hypermarket in the late 1980s.

The "Colliers" referred to in Colliers Wood were charcoal burners, in the days when the area had a few more trees.
