This authentic 1970s colour photograph, captured in 1970, features the exterior of The Grasshopper Inn located on Westerham Road in Tatsfield, near the Kent and Surrey border. The archival image showcases the expansive and intricate Mock Tudor architecture of the roadhouse, which combines rustic stone walls with decorative black-and-white timber framing and multiple gabled roofs covered in weathered clay tiles. A section of the building is clearly marked as “Tudor Hall,” reflecting its use as a popular function and wedding venue. In the foreground, a large gravel car park holds a variety of period transport, including a light blue Vauxhall Viva, a red and white delivery van, and a tan-coloured Ford Capri. A woman dressed in a purple suit and holding a white handbag is seen walking a small black dog near the vehicles. This factual record documents the grand scale and suburban charm of this well-known roadside establishment during 1970, capturing a moment in the hospitality history of the North Downs region.
