10:30 Uhr: A number of fans met at
the pub "The Queens Head" in order to go
by car from there to nearby East Horsley and have a
look at some of the locations where the series was
shot.
Carol, one of the club's heads, was so kind as to
take me in her car.
This is the well-known archway from
the episode "Thw witching hour". After Edward and
Catweazle have pinched some hair there they ride
through here on the bike. It has hardly changed
throughout the years.
This is it - Home Farm, in the series
called "Hexwood" Farm the home of the Bennets. It
has not changed much, either.
The Village Fete was situated behind
the farmhouse on a large meadow. There were games,
food and drink, and in the midst of all that
cheerful hustle and bustle the Fan Club had put up
its tent, just like every year.
Here the fans queued up for autographs.

Then we drove to some terraced houses
in
East Horsley. Those are the houses with the barber
shop, were some of the episodes were shot, among
others the episode called "The witching hour". The
barber shop exists up to today, by the way. (Further
information about this and other locations can be
found here on my website at "Locations".)
Then we went to nearby
"Home Farm" at East Clandon. Here every
year in summer the so-called "Village Fete"
takes place, the hosts of which are the owners of "Home
Farm".
The shed "The Barn" is also
part of that farm. Let's remember: There it was that
Edward met Catweazle for the first time.
Richard Carpenter on the left and Robin
Davies on the right are signing autographs.

Annual.
