Looking at @SideshowBob 's new Ephgrave thread has me thinking that we should have a ride where we visit the sites of old builders/shops etc in spring. Give us a bit of time to compile a list of shops etc. Has the forum had a ride like this before and would anyone be interested or is it a shit idea?
Ie visit the site of where the original Hobbs site was in the Barbican, Youngs of Lewisham etc

As I said in the other thread, that building is long gone. It was where this house now stands:

(The next house along is No. 152.)
