 This looks like an old railway carriage 'chicken house' or shed. |

| Interesting to note the tar strips on sect joins on this concrete road surface. Clearly cracking was a problem then as much as it is now! |

The concrete sections were cast with a gap between them, this was filled with tar so as they could expand in hot weather. |

It appears the hotel was destroyed by fire circa 1970. A new motel stands on the site [or nearby]: www.bbc.co.uk/history/domesday/dblock/GB-512000-195000/page/6 |

An elderly local resident has been telling me that, during his teens, The Spider's web was notorious as a haunt for the criminal classes of London; who would drive up the new A-road to enjoy the facilities of the road-house. |
