Junction of roads to Leatherhead and Headley in front of Thirty Acres Barn. To the left is Pebble Lane (actually the Roman Road, Stane Street, BOAT 118), to the right the road to Leatherhead (BOAT 116), and out of sight to right and left is Gray's Lane to Ashtead (BOAT 115) and bridleway 119 to Headley Road respectively. Both the roads in the foreground are byways open to all traffic — only the road to Leatherhead isn't, as it is restricted by a traffic regulation order to exclude carriages. This must have been a busier place once — before the Epsom to Leatherhead turnpike, through Ashtead, was opened in 1755.
