THE RESERVOIR HOTEL, EARLSWOOD: THEN & NOW...

 The Reservoir Hotel, Earlswood…


THEN...



Lanes stripped of tarmac

And their broken white lines;

No limiting junctions

Or lollipop shaped signs…


Inn stripped of adverts

And its bland lack of charm:

Merely a functional hostelry,

Near a neighbourhood farm…


Earlswood stripped of vehicles

And pollution and noise:

Horses, carts and simplicity

Mourn its past rural poise…

NOW...

Remarkable image of the Reservoir Hotel, carts, a bicycle and a total absence of traffic, houses and scurrying people.
