DescriptionDaylight Inn - geograph.org.uk - 1098681.jpg
English: Daylight Inn. Opened in December 1935, and built in a mock Tudor style to fit in with the surroundings of Station Square, to a design of Sydney Clarke. It included a large ballroom/banqueting hall with stage, and served as a venue for public meetings/amateur dramatics/dinners. In its early years it was also a hotel with 13 bedrooms. The name refers to the campaign by William Willett, who lived in nearby Chislehurst, and whose campaigning at the start of the 20th century had led to the eventual introduction of summer time. It was while horse riding in Petts Wood (the wood itself, pre development) that the idea of daylight saving came to him. Other than this pub, he is commemorated in various ways in Petts Wood, with a road and a recreation ground named after him, as well as a memorial in Petts Wood (see 54683).
