More about this scene
The pub sells Tamplins beer (a Brighton-based brewery). Its name is rather apt, as the village is just a couple of miles south of Wakehurst, an extensive estate under the care of the National Trust, and also the outpost of the Royal Botanical Gardens, whose headquarters are at Kew. The gardens are a blaze of colour, particularly in spring and autumn, and it is the home of the Millennium Seed Bank Project. Though the pub still exits today (2004), it is now considerably larger than it is in this photograph. The road has also been re-aligned, and the pub is now further away from the road.
