Barrowsgate comes across an old coaching horn that used to signal the approaching coach bus service at the Kildronan Arms.
Note: In 1934, Leslie Hore-Belisha, as Transport Minister, had introduced a 30mph speed limit in built-up areas.
The Kildronan Arms was, in real life, the Balcarres Arms Hotel in Echt. Ninety years later, Barrowsgate’s toot-a-roo is alive and well and living at his grandson’s house in South London.
