Road House(?) Cafe, Red Lodge - 22 Jul 1984

Sunday 22 July 1984 – Red Lodge on the A11 road in Suffolk had a number of catering establishments frequented by coaches. This one (which I think included ‘Road House’ in its title) occupied the site where the Doctor’s Surgery was built in later years.

Directly across the road was another popular café, the Suffolk Punch (later re-named Sanara Services). Having two such places across the road from each other created some hair raising moments as people ran across the road between the two.

In this Sunday evening photograph there are four coaches taking a break including a Duple Dominant coach of London based Grey-Green Coaches probably heading back to the capital from the seaside.
