Trolley 462

Captured, yet again, outside the creationists' of East Street.

I could have taken one or two more from down the side, but decided I didn't fancy the extra push. Left for the janitor, at least for another day. While I thought the telephone did quite a good job at containing the bright light at the end of the passage.

Having decided against extras from the creationists, there was room for this stray, just across the road from the bacon sandwich caravan on the edge of the Kiln Lane car park, more or less outside the entrance to Wickes. Not scored though as it was in scope for the resident trolley jockeys.

The stripes on the handle are the shadows of the bars just to the left, not some kind of tape, as at first appears.

Outside Sainsbury's we had this rather flashy minibus, probably bringing a party of children from the Papillon House School in Tadworth up for a bit of supervised shopping.

While the School was easy enough to find on the Internet and on the edge of Headley Heath, a little to the north east of Box Hill, and I was pleased to see that they had adopted the class naming conventions which are used up here in Epsom, I was unable to find out anything about the history of the building, which, while not ancient, was probably well over a hundred years old, at least in foundation.

The David Papillon at reference 3 did build houses, but his main base in the country looks to have been in Leicestershire. While the nearby Aslotel House of reference 4 are specialists in high quality hotel supplies. With neither of them appearing to be anything to do with the matter in hand.

The Scottish National Library not much help, for once, on this occasion, just showing a large house called Pebble Coombe at approximately the right place, around 1870, but nothing further. And nothing further on that from Bing or Google either. So there the matter will have to rest, at least for the moment.

PS 1: I might add that Ordnance Survey have done something to the system which provides online access to their excellent maps. It has become a right pain to get into them. Need to take some time to find out what I am doing wrong. See references 5a and 5b.

PS 2: a little later: stop press: I have just received an email from Amazon telling me that they have pulled back from the brink. They are not going to stop taking Visa credit cards on the 19th January after all. There must be lots of high powered pushing and shoving going on about who gets the biggest slice of cake...
