It lies in an valley forty miles from London. The railway-line delivers you at least station (which has now and then been repainted but ortherwise stands as it stood eighty years ago), and you have a mile or more to walk. Possible are orchards arounds as well as a factory which supplies farmers all over the world with chemical preparations, and a paper-mill use to produce the paper required for gift-wrapping fruit for market. You soon cross the river and go along the short, dêp canal, cut in the 17th century-a part of the old system of inland transport which has been declining lately. And here, where it joins the broad river again, is the contemporary inn, "the anchor", which was originally built for the bargemen and now for years past has been a favourite anchorage for anglers, who have miles of water is swift and slow to yield them sport. Should you climb over the footbridge into this beautiful inn you will hear good talks on local matters and some from the outer world
