More about this scene
An open-top bus heading for Redhill via Epsom overtakes a lone cyclist outside the Green Man public house (right), with its swinging sign showing a figure dressed in forester's green. In the background, against the trees, the surviving spire of the 15th-century church looks down on this straggling village on the Romans' Stane Street linking London and Chichester.
