Flashback Friday: Limpsfield Chart Post Office

Who remembers shops on Limpsfield Chart?

I rode my bike up Trevereux Hill to the little shop on Post Office Row (think possibly after Joyce had gone although I’m sure it was still called Joyce’s)… Before that was the post office and shop, there was an actual post office on the corner (main picture).

Flashback Friday: The Lord Rodney, Limpsfield

Now you’ll find Rodney House and Rodney Cottage, but just off the high street before Pebble Hill (and opposite Sylvan close) used to stand the Rodney Inn / Lord Rodney pub. It started life as the Coach & Horses and changed names back and forth until the 20th century when it ended up as the Lord Rodney.

It lost its license in the 1920s and is now Rodney House. For the full history, click here for Wasfu Man’s blog entry on Limpsfield pubs.

Flashback Friday: Detillens Lane, Limpsfield

Look at this quiet leafy lane. Not really that long ago, and actually not really that much has changed except for fencing and the lack of parked cars ;)

Flashback Friday: The Plumbers Arms

Recognise this junction? Now the Limpsfield High Street/Pebble Hill/Wolfs Row traffic lights, it used to be the site of The Plumbers Arms.
