Pupils spent weeks collecting items to be buried in a time capsule, so future generations can look back on life in 2014.

Magazines, photographs and letters that best showed what life is like now were put in the capsule and buried alongside documents relating to a new Anchor care home, Moore Place, in Portsmouth Road.

Esher Church School headteacher Cathy Bell, Anchor staff and 10 students from Esher Church Primary School helped put the capsule in the grounds of the care home on October 16.

Mrs Bell said: "When considering what should be included in the time capsule, we looked at what had changed in the last 100 years and then asked the children what they thought Esher might look like in 100 years time.

"The contents reflects life in 2014 and include photographs and letters written by the children to be opened by future generations."
