Ah, the good old Cali'. Only drank there as the Belmont in my village days sadly. Was told a few stories by the Old Man about that place. Even the night Tony Blackburn was a DJ!

While i was by no means a regular i used to go in that pub myself. Here you go, a little reminder   FANTASTIC pic. I used the Blackwater right u to its demise before the one way system was complete and remember it being just about the last building standing in a sea of nothingness at one time. Absolutely every other building in the vicinity had gone, including two of my old schools. This pic must have been taken late 1970s? |

Having looked it up at Honeywood Lodge today, it seems the bend in GGL never was Cheam as such - Maps I saw from 1845 even up to the mid 20c as "Lower Cheam"

Yes, but the story goes that that settlement (Lower Cheam) uprooted itself when the church was built - I don't even know if it was the current church building. It could be a load of guff but nothing posted here actually refutes it.

I think it was early eighties as you can see the Tesco car park on the right |
