"Col du Skelly" marker post, Beddlestead Lane, near Biggin Hill The marker post to the left of the road commemorates a keen cyclist who died in 2016.  Beddlestead Lane, a quiet country lane in the North Downs had been one of his favourite climbs when cycling.  The post is in the style of a French mountain milepost.  As a privately-arranged memorial it is sited on private land, with permission of the land owner, rather than on the public right of way.
