Naivasha - post WW1 - Later there followed a golf course laid out by Mervyn Ray and Falconer-Taylor. The first tee was between the church and the old DC's house, and the course lay around the Bell Inn and Bombay Trading Company.
Naivasha - The Falconer-Taylors started the Bell Inn and also ran a small grocery establishment, the "Kiora Stores". These kind people became an "institution of Naivasha" and when he died Mrs Taylor carried on and was a great and welcoming personality, and goodness itself to all the British troops who patronised the hotel during the Second World War.
