A different set of numbers
Look closely and you will notice the numbers carved into the lintels are 5 and 6 - not the ones on the actual doors. Clearly the original numbering of Victoria Terrace (in Burcott Road) of 1888 has been changed. The area dates from around the turn of the nineteenth century when there was an isolation hospital just along the road.

'Tramways'
This club retains a link to the old railway line that used to run beside it. Once the old 'Strawberry Line' linked Cheddar with the town, but the line and the station nearby were closed under Dr Beeching. The club is fairly new but originally was known as 'The Buses Club'.
