Addlestone Crossing
After getting off the bus from New Haw we would walk to Nan & Grandad's house. Passing over the crossing there was Wells Boot Stores on the right just before Alexandra Road. Down here, over the river, the Laundry and Taylor & Pentons on the left. I think Taylor & Penton made furniture for John Lewis, I do know my Aunt Elsie and my Grandfather (Walter Godfrey) worked there, Auntie in the office and Grandad as Night Watchman. Now on to 37 Byron Road for tea and pocket money.

RE: RE: Addlestone Crossing
During the Second World War, my mum, Lily Shipp, was evacuated to Alexandra Road, Addlestone with her sister Renee as they had an aunt who lived there. The family she stayed with were called Pendry.
