A door or two away used to be dear old John Searl's shop where he sold vintage fishing kit and did many of his terrific paintings.
Years ago I was in john's shop just after he had bough Col. S.H. Crow's fly box in an auction.
It was a thing of absolute beauty, dove tailed mahogany joints with 3 levels that must have held a thousand flies in each leaf.
I miss seeing and chatting to John.
I don't know if it is still there but not too long ago right next door to Avon Angling in Ringwood was a sort to sexy lingerie store, like Anne Summers .
