Sheridan Farm, West Park Road, Surrey

Sheridan Farm lies just south of the B2028 near Domewood. The breeding and rearing of racehorses is an important activity here.

The Hedgehog Inn, Copthorne

Formerly the Effingham Arms the Hedgehog is now a restaurant pub and has acquired the adjacent house (in the left of shot) to provide guest rooms. In a sense it's assumed the function of the old-fashioned inn. The exterior has hardly changed since the 1950s Link

. It's the occasional meeting place for local members of the Guinea Pig Club Link

who will have witnessed the changes over the years.

Accommodation for the Hedgehog

House converted into guest rooms to provide accommodation for TQ3340 : The Hedgehog Inn, Copthorne. The structure built on to the right of the house looks new but may simply have been repointed as it appears on a photograph from the 1950s Link

Entrance to Haskins garden centre

Always busy as shown by the queue to get in at a quarter past three on a Sunday afternoon! The big black barn functions as a restaurant for shoppers. There is also a Hobbycraft tucked away behind the restaurant.

New road layout ahead

The sign on B2037 Effingham Road refers to the substitution of a roundabout for the staggered crossroads with the B2028. This is the third layout here - it started as a normal crossroads.
