Ripley is a village in Surrey, England. The village has existed since Norman times – the chancel of the church of St. Mary Magdalen shows construction of circa 1160 there and supporting feet of fines and ecclesiastical records mention the village at the time. Ripley's sister village of Send to the south-west was the governing parish over the village for over 700 years until 1878 when they became two separate ecclesiastical parishes; they became separate civil parishes in 1933.
Lying on the main road from London to Portsmouth (from the 1930s referred to as the A3), Ripley was the post town for the whole area (including Woking) from 1813 to 1865. With the coming of the railway to what was then Woking Common in 1838, Ripley's importance diminished, and Woking became its post town in 1865. As motor traffic increased during the 1960s and the 1970s, the Portsmouth Road at Ripley became a notorious bottleneck, relieved by the building of the Ripley bypass in 1976. The A3 was renamed the B2215, and what has always been a major trunk road was expanded into six lanes north of Guildford, bypassing Send and Ripley.
The distance is 3.5 miles (5.6 km) to the M25 motorway. It is centred 6.2 miles (10.0 km) southeast of Woking, 6.8 miles (10.9 km) northeast of Guildford and 22.5 mi (36.2 km) southwest of London. Neighbouring villages Send and Send Marsh to the South-West and Ockham to the East have fewer shopping facilities.
The village church, St Mary Magdalen has a fine Norman chancel and is a Grade II* listed building (the second highest of the three categories). Among the more than 20 listed buildings and cottages in the village are Pinnocks Café the building the 'Ship Inn and Ye Old Sweet Shoppe', J Hartley Antiques, Sage Antiques (Green Cottage) and Clock House and Cellar Wines – Artisan Spirits, Boutique Wines, Delicatessen & Events (The Old Cellar) The building that Cellar Wines is located in, is a historical place of interest with a Blue Plaque located outside for the production of penicillin for the first time in the UK (possibly the world) for civilian use by Kennith White in 1944. Cedar House Gallery, in another listed building, Cedar House often has exhibitions and stocks predominantly watercolour and oil landscapes.
The village includes a coaching inn, The Talbot Hotel, which dates back to 1453, as well as Drake's restaurant, which has been awarded a Michelin star and 3 AA rosettes. The village high street includes a small supermarket, cobblers and bakery. Aside from the Talbot Hotel/Inn there is the Jovial Sailor as a further larger than average, food-serving public house. Two other pubs in the village are The Anchor and The Half Moon.

100% RELIABLE LEAFLET DELIVERY
Leaflet Distribution (tm) has local leafleters in Ripley, Surrey, GU23.
We specialise in leaflet and flyer distribution in Ripley
and are a very experienced business in this sector, having been
operating since 2004. We also run a cleaning company franchise called
Nationwide Cleaners and one of our own leaflets goes out with each drop,
so we have a vested interest in ensuring it is done properly. Our
Nationwide Cleaners leaflets also enable us to monitor how many calls we
receive from potential cleaning clients and potential cleaners. Very few
other leaflet distribution companies have this advantage. In addition,
to maximise the response rate we only deliver a maximum of 3 leaflets
through each letterbox. We want the highest possible number of calls for
you (and us!) Most competitors just stack 5 or 6 leaflets together and
all of them end up grabbed in 1 hand en route to the bin! They simply do
not have a vested interest in the outcome of the flyer drop.
Beware of leaflet distribution firms whose only method of tracking is
GPS, as I have heard stories of leafleters walking the streets, but not
actually delivering anything or putting 4 leafets through each
letterbox! With us, that is not possible, as we would immediately notice
the absence of cleaning calls. Our staff know this, so rogue leafleters
would avoid working for us and instead apply for jobs with our competitors!
We are extremely careful who we hire. We operate a profiling system
based on experience to eliminate unsuitable and unreliable potential
staff, but I cannot disclose details on here due to possibly being
accused of discrimination! As a franchise, we have extensive experience
due to honing and refining our business systems.
leafletsdelivered.co.uk has more information or you can phone Laurence
on 01372 570 591. If there is an answerphone, please leave a message with
your phone number and he will ring you back asap the same day.
You can email us at surrey@leafletsdelivered.co.uk, but if you have many
questions, speaking on the phone is much faster than email.
GUARANTEE. Since we have been in existence since 2004 and only use
meticulously chosen leafleters, we can guarantee your distribution in
Ripley will be carried out properly. All our leafleters are
experienced and have done many drops for us previously, so there is no
risk for you.
So, if you manage a business and would like more clients, do not
hesitate to contact us to clarify any questions and to get started.

The US Boutique Wine Festival Debut

Cross Cut Saw - Dr. K
One of the great rock and roll guitarists of all time, Eric Patrick Clapton was born March 30, 1945, in Ripley, Surrey, England. Clapton's mother, Patricia Molly Clapton, was only 16 years old at the time of his birth; his father, Edward Walter Fryer, was a 24-year-old Canadian soldier stationed in the United Kingdom during World War II. Fryer returned to Canada, where he was already married to another woman, before Clapton's birth.
Eric Clapton grew up in a very musical household. His grandmother was a skilled pianist, and his mother and uncle both enjoyed listening to big-band music. As it turns out, Clapton's absent father was also a talented pianist who had played in several dance bands while stationed in Surrey. Around the age of 8, Clapton discovered the earth-shattering truth that the people he believed were his parents were actually his grandparents and that the woman he considered his older sister was in fact his mother. Clapton later recalled, The truth dawned on me, that when Uncle Adrian jokingly called me a little bastard, he was telling the truth.
The young Clapton, until then a good student and well-liked boy, grew sullen and reserved and lost all motivation to do his schoolwork. He describes a moment shortly after learning the news of his parentage: I was playing around with my grandma's compact, with a little mirror you know, and I saw myself in two mirrors for the first time and I don't know about you but it was like hearing your voice on a tape machine for the first... and I didn't, I, I was so upset. I saw a receding chin and a broken nose and I thought my life is over. Clapton failed the important 11-plus exams that determine admission to secondary school. However, he showed a high aptitude for art, so at the age of 13 he enrolled in the art branch of the Holyfield Road School.
By that time, 1958, rock and roll had exploded onto the British music scene; for his 13th birthday, Clapton asked for a guitar. He received a cheap German-made Hoyer, and finding the steel-stringed guitar difficult and painful to play, he soon set it aside. At the age of 16, he gained acceptance into the Kingston College of Art on a one-year probation; it was there, surrounded by teenagers with musical tastes similar to his own, that Clapton really took to the instrument. Clapton was especially taken with the blues guitar played by musicians such as Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters and Alexis Korner. The latter inspired Clapton to buy his first electric guitar -- still a relative rarity in England.
Ranked the fourth greatest guitarist of all time by Rolling Stone magazine, Clapton is an 18-time Grammy Award winner and the only triple inductee of the Rock and Roll of Fame (as a member of The Yardbirds, as a member of Cream and as a solo artist). He continues to record music and tour relentlessly while also performing extensive charity work. In 1998, he founded the Crossroads Centre, a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility. He published his autobiography in 2007.
However, perhaps the most impressive achievement of Clapton's recent life is that he has finally moved past his days of drug addiction, alcoholism and womanizing, and settled into a happy and stable family life. I am very happy, he said in a recent interview. I think I've found a way to live as a result of all these near disasters, which keeps me remembering how fortunate I am and how lucky I am and how much of a responsibility I have to stay the way I am right now.

Advert Ref: 2834
Business Description
Preferred Commercial is pleased to offer for sale this busy village public house and restaurant, which has been in our client's hands since 1977 and which is only now offered to the market due to our client's wish to retire. The business trades 7 days a week and generates a turnover in the region of £739,696 per annum with a gross profit of 65%. The Hest Bank Inn offers an extensive range of real ales, fine wines and spirits, along with traditional home cooked food and a function room. The business is renowned for its quality fayre and relaxed atmosphere. The pub enjoys much repeat trade and has a loyal customer base. We feel the turnover could be further increased by embarking on a modest marketing campaign and perhaps establishing a website advertising the business and services provided. The premises are well-equipped to suit the trade and have been finished to a high standard throughout. There is a spacious self-contained 1-bedroom flat to the first floor with lounge, kitchen and bathroom. The premises also boast 3 double bedrooms, which we feel could be used as letting rooms, subject to planning permission. We feel this represents an ideal opportunity to acquire an already thriving public house with huge scope for future growth. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.

The War of the Worlds Audiobook by H.G. Wells | Audiobook with subtitles
The War of the Worlds (Version 3) H. G. WELLS
No one would have believed, in the last years of the nineteenth century, that the Earth was being scrutinised and studied from across the gulf of space. With infinite complacency, humanity went about its little affairs, serene in its assurance of its empire over matter. It is possible that the micro-organisms we watch under a microscope, do the same. Few people gave thought to the idea of life on other planets, and none imagined that it could be so vastly superior in intellect to ourselves. No one considered the possibility of extra-terrestrial danger. Yet the eyes that regarded our planet were envious and unsympathetic, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us. (Cori Samuel, adapted from Chapter One.)
