Houses in Terra Cotta Road, Surrey

Terra Cotta Road leads westwards off Tilburstow Hill Road. It continues past these houses to end in a small business park. These houses are probably the nearest you will get to 'affordable' houses in the Godstone area - but you will get a shock if you enquire the price.

Little Chef restaurant, South Godstone, Surrey

On the west side of the A22. I suppose some people must actually eat in these establishments, otherwise they would not be there.

Approach to Tandridge Lane - Southlands Lane junction

The road sign shows the main route to bend to the right with a side road to the left. Tandridge Lane is in the foreground - it then turns left, and the main route bends right to become Southlands Lane. The junction has been remodelled at some time - formerly the side branch was to the right and Tandridge Lane was the through route.
