This Inn is haunted by what is known as a grey lady (the Wiki entry on this is disappointing, because they don’t seem to understand it is a generic term). According to the delightful book Haunted Inns of Surrey by Roger Long it is a good setting for ghosts, it is ancient and possesses, rumour dictates, at least two priest holes and one secret passage.

Dear Surrey County Council, Your ingenuity is boundless. Unlike Paris , Berlin and other places, you not only provide cycle lanes where there is convenient space, but you provide cycle lanes where ever there is even just the smallest amount of convenient space.

Here are some more photographs showing the parking situation in Chertsey, Surrey. As you can see from these and previous ones, the situation is as laissez faire as that any Parisian street. I notice that the one vehicle to actually be ticketed is the private car. These photos were all taken within about 30 minutes. My theory is that business vehicles are the worst offenders but get soft treatment.
