The green squares in Surrey attractions will not be so easy for us but I think in the index there is only one in the towns and villages list that is still green is Brockham, I will try and get that one sorted in the nextweek or so. However, that will only cover the index as if you choose another village say Ashtead that too is a green square , so how can you tell how many green square places are hidden in the masses of towns and villages on POE but not particularly in the primary index linked to each county. Be that as it may , as I said I will endeavour to grab a shot or two of Brockham as soon as I have a chance and then tell you of it's fame. |

Does she set a challenge or is she herself challenged? It's great that you had a look to see where the "Awaiting Pictures" green squares are Vince and that you have found one that you might be able to fill. I think that is fantastic! I do hope others with do as you have done and let us know about them! |

She would have no prior knowledge of the task, have say 2 or 3 days to do it and would have to scour the local area for volunteers and the local firms to beg borrow or donate items needed as the whole thing had to be done for free. It was on during the early 1990's |

There should be a list of towns/villages and attractions. If you scroll through them you will probably see some have no picture just a green box saying "Awaiting Pictures". It's not an actual thread. |

When Anneka takes the flower hanging baskets out of her dune buggy, the village in the distant background is Newenden. Picture by Fred in't Hout

Seems strange that there are some vacant areas, think I will look for areas I can reach then try and get something. All good fun is it not ! |
