This view shows the top end of the long drag up the A30, (the Portsmouth Road), from Bagshot. Siting a posting inn, (The Jolly Farmer), at the top of this rise would allow the horses to be refreshed, or replaced. As it is on the main route from London to Portsmouth all the major naval figures, including Admiral, the Lord Nelson, would have alighted to stretch their legs here.
