Downside Bridge Follow-up

There's always a flurry of phone calls after the quarterly newsletter is published and mailed out.
Dave Mclellan's Downside Bridge story with the picture of the punt crossing the Farnham car park has jogged many memories. Terry Pearce rang in. On that weekend in 1967 he was working at Ronson's in Leatherhead. He remembers an empty bus being stranded on the crest of the bridge at the bottom of Leatherhead High Street (where Dave McLellan & Hazel lived some years later) with the River Mole swirling all around it. Later on he saw a Fiat saloon car in the middle of the river with no indication of how it got there. Terry thinks somone sailed it there.
