The ex-Ladas

Image: © Hugh Craddock Taken: 3 Jun 2020

The Ladas was a pub on the corner of Woodcote Road and Madans Walk, named (in common with several other pubs locally) after a Derby winner: in this case, the 1894 winner. And in common with several other pubs locally, it has closed — in 2011, and subsequently was converted to residential accommodation. To the left of the letter box are Royal Automobile Club signs pointing to Woodcote Park and Epsom. These have carefully been preserved, as Woodcote Park is the country premises of the Club — notwithstanding that the RAC motoring organisation (formerly responsible for these signs) and the Club have long since gone their separate ways. To the right is Chalk Lane, which leads up to Epsom Downs.
