More about this scene
The temperance movement had a strong following in both Godalming and Farncombe, and the Catteshall Coffee Tavern offered an alternative to alcohol, and was open six days a week from 5.30am to 10pm. It served dinners and offered 'good beds'. Beyond the Tavern, the Half Moon Pub had been a beer house for at least fifty years. It is now closed.

I lived in George Road during the '80s and during my time there, collected old postcards of the area. Much later, I enjoyed locating the exact camera positions and taking videos of how the scenes appear now.
