Posterngate Farm, South Godstone, Surrey

Part of the extensive grounds of Posterngate Farm, where the many activities include the maintenance of a herd of pedigree Charollais, and a lake for trout fishing. There is even a small business park. And this photograph 'wraps up' the TQ34 hectad, of which I have claimed 48 first geographs.

South Godstone

South Godstone is 3 miles south of Godstone village and developed when the Tonbridge railway line was built in the 19th century.

Railway Bridge

Crowhurst Lane End railway bridge has a narrow width hence the traffic lights. The Brickmakers Arms Pub is just past the bridge.

S K Camping and Leisure, Anglefield Corner, Surrey

On the A22 south of Godstone. A vast range of equipment for the outdoor holiday enthusiast. There is also a garden centre adjoining.

The road to Nowhere, Surrey

Surprisingly this lane does not appear in any form at all on the 1:25000 map, nor is there any indication of anywhere it could serve. The gate is firmly padlocked. No farm stock or arable crop is visible.

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.

Road and public footpath near Blindley Heath, Surrey

This footpath is the southern leg of a group of paths which link the A22 eastwards across to Tandridge Lane. The path is metalled at the western end to give access to a small number of properties.

Ponies near Crowhurst Lane, Surrey

A sharp shower of rain had just begun as we reached these friendly ponies being groomed in a field not far south of Crowhurst Lane.

Pumping station

This building would appear to have no door and no window. It is surrounded by high-security fencing through which I had to poke the camera to take the photograph.
