The reason for my... [more]

My father's family lived in the cottage with the arched windows next door to the post office. The house was named Apsley Cottage. My grandfather Henry Briggs was a career soldier in the Royal West Surrey Regiment. He served in the regiment from 1896 until 1919. He was also a range warden of the Ash ranges. I spent many happy days... [more]

This used to be our local pub. Many a night spent throwing money at the jukebox and into the pool table. I was sprung for being 16 but still allowed to buy lager (cheers!!) LOL!!
It's a chain pub now and has some kind of Big Steak restaurant attached. Such a shame.

Surrey memories
I remember growing up in the village of Tongham, met my husband and still going strong. Prepared for many years of memories from school to moving, still visit occasionally, hasn't changed too much except for new builds. The cardinals remains virtually untouched. 1974-1988

I remember going into all these shops when I was a toddler. I loved watching the sugar and flour being taken from bags stood on the floor or counter. Everything was in sacks or bags and on display. It was so interesting going shopping back then taking our time in each shop catching up on the village news. What a lovely... [more]

Burrow Hill School is now derelict. It closed in 1998 and I have just walked past the boarded-up site this afternoon. Although I have lived in Frimley Green since 1993 and seen one of its main buildings from within a housing estate at the bottom of the hill, I have never known what that building was. Entry into the school is... [more]

Villages of Surrey Photographic Memories
The Greyhound was once the only pub in Ash. By 1861 there were 16 pubs here, and it is reckoned that at least 17 other hostelries have come and gone within this parish. The fascia of the pub seen in this view has now been altered, and other changes here include the addition of a roundabout.

This view was taken in the middle of the village, and is looking down Updown Hill. The shop just behind the lady, on the right, was that of S Workman, who sold fancy goods; it is now an estate agents. We have now completed our look around Camberley, and by taking the road back to the London Road, we can return to Camberley itself, and... [more]

The bakery of Mr Christmas stands at the junction of Kennel Lane and Church Road, to the right. The shop on the right is that of Boyce the fishmongers. If we take the road to the left we come to our last picture.
