Signs, Rectory Lane, Ashtead
A narrow road, a high brick wall and a busy junction on a blind corner makes the southern end of Rectory Lane awkward to negotiate both in a car and on foot. Despite the numerous problems presented to the driver, this is still a heavily used rat-run, especially during the school run.

The Leg of Mutton & Cauliflower, 48 The Street
This pub hasn't been given this unusual name as part of a "Slug & Lettuce" type of pub chain. It has had this name for decades, certainly as far back as the 1920's for sure, and probably earlier. Originally it was part of a farm, and the earliest reference to the pub is as far back as 1769. At one time the coroner's court was held here. The name commemorates the produce of the livestock and fields of the old farm.

The Leg of Mutton & Cauliflower (pub sign), 48 The Street
The sign is attached to a post, which stands in the small beer garden at the front of the pub. Many years ago there was a different sign, attached to a more substantial post. Below the sign hung a realistically modelled small leg of mutton and another model of a cauliflower!
