Dist:0.1km<br/>Set into a wall, near the junction of Withies Lane with the B3000 road, is this Edward VII postbox. It would have been put here during the period 1901-1910. The Roman numerals VII are immediately below the crown. The name of the manufacturer of the box, W T Allen & Co., London, is at the bottom of the box.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This country pub is the sort of place you would want to take your American cousins to, as it still has a very traditional feel. An extensive menu is available, although written in a strange mixture of English and French. Withies "Soup du Jour" anyone? [[1460528]].

Dist:0.3km<br/>Tucked away in one of Surrey's leafy lanes is this popular and upmarket public house, with restaurant. Although you are more likely to meet a retired stockbroker here, than a farm labourer, the pub has retained most features of the traditional English country pub. It dates from the 16th century, has low ceilings, an attractive beer garden, window boxes full of flowers and seems to have come straight off the top of a chocolate box. Perhaps its biggest claim to fame is that, many decades ago, it once turned away the famous American crooner Bing Crosby, or at least the Telegraph claimed so in an article on British pubs. Maybe the pub felt it couldn't compete with Holiday Inn? The pub has its own website:- http://www.thewithiesinn.com/

Dist:0.3km<br/>The Withies is a popular 16th century pub with restaurant. Although not as old as the pub, the sign seems to have been there for a good many years, and is quite faded. The other side is even more difficult to decipher. According to Wikipedia, a withy is the name given to strong flexible willow stems that are typically used in thatching and for gardening. It seems quite possible that the pub has been known as The Withies throughout its long history. [[1460528]]; [[1460540]].
