No traffic lights when I lived there - that's why the Dutch Lorry Driver ploughed into the old Angel pub coming down the A120 to the sharp S-bend. My brother, myself and our Father were first on the scene & helped everyone out, we lived opposite & used to listen to the band rehearsing in the pub's walled garden & that included with Nick Drake who I remember as very shy when we tried to talk with him (unlike the band members who were always friendly).....

"The Angel", a former pub once inhabited by the folk rock group Fairport Convention and after which their album Angel Delight was titled. Violinist Dave Swarbrick, guitarists Richard Thompson, Simon Nicol and Dave Pegg and drummer Dave Mattacks were resident in the building, along with their wives and the band's road crew. Nick Drake also visited the premises when making his first albums (Dave Pegg and Dave Mattacks of Fairport Convention played bass and drums respectively on these). The band's residence there ended in February 1971 when a lorry crashed into the Angel, severely damaging the property and destroying Swarbrick's bedroom. The lorry driver was killed in the accident, but nobody else was hurt."​
