    A couple of questions about your questions.

    Q 1D: The shoe shop is Clarks (without the e). But I seem to remember that Clarkes or Clarks was the name of the haberdashers next to Barnet Church, where Tesco is now. My memory is of polished wood and glass cabinets, and an atmosphere like Grace Brothers. Perhaps someone else remembers it.

    Q9: Is the Gate in Arkley not higher than the Rising Sun?

    Cheers!

    Re Q9, I'm not sure if the Arkley is higher, but it definately doesn't have a London post code

    Oh yes! The Gate is in London but has an EN5 postcode.

    And, I've just looked (to satisfy curiosity). The Gate is 464ft and the Rising Sun is 444ft.

    Thanks.
