Spotted in Falmouth the other day, the route taken by the Navy messenger delivering the news that the battle of Trafalgar had been won by the British, starting in Falmouth 37 hours to cover 271 miles and 21 changes of horse, amazing. One of the staging posts on route was the little village of Bagshot in Surrey, a well known (locally) coaching stop (due to the disproportionate number of pubs in the village) and the location of the first proper job I ever had.
