OLD ENGLISH INNS REMAIN
These Charming Places on the Post
Roads Have Changed Little
In Many Years.

A history OF the coach roads out OF
London would be history OF England.
and the stories of the inns alone would
make q fat volume. They are still
charming inns. with the same oak
rafters and oak wainscoting, the same
stuffed trout and foxes in dusty glass
cases. They are az they were when
they sold brandy in casks that had
been thrown shorewards on Brighton
smugglers; as they were when ~ day
broke, q masked gentleman on . gray
mare would rap gently with his whip
on their green shutters. And, then the
inns themselves, what could be more
charming than their names?
Such names as the Angel Of the An
nunciation. at Staines on the last
change into Windsor. which dates
back to the days Of the monasteries
when the innkeeper of that tavern
was a lay brother, and on the last
stage to Box Hill. the Robin Hood Inn,
which dates back to that man himself.
ana those other inns that celebrate
the stars Of the animal kingdom in
specific colors: The White Hart at
Henheld on the Brighton Road, the
Dun Horse Of Manning's Heath. the
White Horse of Dorking, the Bull q
Woodbridge. the Bear at Esther, the
Lion at Guilford, and at Wimbledon
the Dog and Fox. Great men have
stopped at these inns, and while We
change horses the landlord will point
out the windows of the rooms in
which they rested-the first man Of
Europe on his way to Brighton, Lord
Nelson on his way to join his ship at
Portsmouth. and Sheridan, Pope. Mr..
Pepys. Walpole. Dick Turpin. Capt.
