Coach and Horses, Thorley Street
A grade II listed building, the blue plaque has 'Coach and Horses 1649'. The listing citation dates the oldest parts to late 15th or early 16th century, but that was before it was a pub and is described then as a 'hall-house'. See Image for a detail and discussion of the unusual inn sign.

Inn sign, Coach and Horses
Plus points for the novel way of portraying this name, but many negative points for the depiction. Whilst JTB 749 is a real coach, a 1948 AEC Regal III with Burlingham body, it is unsurprisingly right-hand drive, not left, and would drive on the left-hand side of the road in this country. Clearly the artist worked from a reversed photograph, correcting the lettering (but not the 'Regal' on the radiator). It has been pointed out to me, something I did not notice at the time, that this is a cut-out sign, showing a correct view of the coach on the other side. A mirror image on this side is a consequence of using the same silhouette.

River Stort Navigation
Looking upstream, with a rather important tributary coming in under the towpath bridge. Important, as it forms the Hertfordshire - Essex border, which here deviates from the main river to include all of Pig Lane in Hertfordshire, which is across the bridge.

Female Banded Demoiselle
Resting on vegetation near the River Stort, the female Calopteryx splendens differs particularly in wing colouration from the male, which has banded wings giving rise to the English name.
