FATAL CRASH ON FLIMWELL ROAD
Elizabeth Walmesley, of The "Royal Oak," Green Street Green. The driver of
the car involved, Mr. Jack Relph, of 35, Church Street, London, 5.E.12,
told the Coroner (Mr. J. H. Soady) that the car was a Morris 18 saloon.
He had been driving since 1929, Mrs. Walmesley and recommended that she
be conveyed to Pembury Hospital. Before leaving Hawkhurst she was given
dressings. She was unconscious. Dr. William MacFadyen, of Pembury, said
that Mrs. Walmesley was still unconscious when she arrived. Joseph
Walmesley, of The "Royal Oak," Green Street Green, said his wife was 54
years age. She left home on Tuesday morning about 11.30. She had been
out with Mr. Fulcher on a few occasions before. Mr. Charles William Ash,
of The "Queen Head," Green Street, up Mrs. Walmesley, Mrs. Ash and Mrs.
Austin, daughter of Mrs. Ash at Green Street Green. They were going to
Hastings along the London Road through Flimwell. The accident occurred
about 2 p.m. He approached the Flimwell cross roads, and as there was
no, with Mr. Walmesley and Mr. Ash. Sympathy was also expressed by the
Coroner and Mr Bull. |
I am told by Roger Smoothy that there has been two pubs with this name
over time at roughly the same location. The first one had to be demolished
when the A21 Farnborough bypass was built in the late 1920s. The new
building was erected roughly in the same location but slightly further away
from the road between Cudham Lane North and the A21 Farnborough Way.
Actually further research shows that not to be correct, the old building is
still there and is now operating as an Indian Restaurant called "Bombay."
