Hi, It certainly looks like a lovely place and must bring back some fond memories. On the subject of the haunts of cyclists, does anyone have a photo of Mrs. Curd's tearoom at Godstone ? Mrs Curd celebrated her 90th in 1968, I think, so she is not with us anymore, but I wonder if anything remains of the place now. We used to stop by there during Sunday club runs and I remember our wet socks and gloves gently steaming away on the heater while we drank our tea!! All the best, Peter Rogers Barrie, Ontario, Canada
