Clipping the hedge at St Annes
My dad, Eric Berry, used to clip this hedge - BY HAND!
When we're little, things always seem bigger than they really are, but my recollections of watching my Dad clip this hedge on the days he did the gardening at St Anne's church, were pretty accurate. It really is as big as I remember!
I also recall going to St... [more]

1955 & prior - the Cricketers etc
I was born in 1947 (a home birth) in Grove End cottage which was, and still is, located pretty much across the London Road and railway line from the Cricketers pub. Although I've never been inside the pub, I have on occasion as a child, watched cricket with my Dad at the weekends. I notice on the satellite map that the... [more]

Surrey memories
Hello from Canada - My great-grandparents, James Elliott and Ann Collyer, were married in Windlesham on July 8th 1865. It is great to see the photos what with me being so far away. I was hoping there would be a photo of the church. They were C of E. Still it is wonderful to see photos of the town. Thank you.

Pinehurst Childrens home, Park Rd Camberley
Memories of Camberley come from my childhood days as an orphan residing at 'Pinehurst', a Surrey County Child Welfare Home 1949-1953. I was put there as a 9-year-old and recall spending a very happy part of my youth there. I attended a primary school, the name of which my memory refuses to recall (Park Road?). Later on I attended France... [more]

I have lived in West End for all of my life!!
I live on the housing estate in West End and I have done since I was born (1995 to present day). I've never really thought about what West End was like before until now. The village has changed so much! One of the girls I used to go to primary school with lives in the Hare and Hounds with her parents... [more]

There must be people still there
Whatever happened to all the guys and gals I went to school with?? Born 1965, I went to Tringham and Westend Middle School, Winston Churchill and graduated in 1982. I'm Andy Barnett, formerly of Malthouse Lane. I used to know nearly everyone around the village. Surely there's people who have been to this site who remember me. I left for the... [more]

Growing up in Westend in the 70s and 80s
I was born in 1965 and grew up in Westend. I moved to America in 1988 and have only been back to visit once since then back in 1989/90. I can't really imagine how much the village has changed since then. I've seen photos and pics on the internet. I was hoping that somethings haven't changed like the common, up there... [more]

I moved to West End in 1966. My family owned the Wheatsheaf from 1964 until about 1967 and my auntie still lived in West End so I often visit.
I was 11 in 1964 and my earliest memory of the village was seeing the Gordon Boys walking around the village in their uniforms of tartan trousers. navy military style tunics and... [more]

Extracts From Bagshot & Surrey books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Bagshot, inspired by Frith photos.
The Fighting Cocks Inn can be seen on our left, but the Hero of Inkerman was demolished to make way for the new by-pass, and was re- built further to the left. After a fire new premises were built on the site, called The Windle Brook.
This is an extract from Camberley Pocket Album.

Villages of Surrey Photographic Memories
The village was an important staging post in the heyday of horse- drawn coaches, and it is not surprising that the road across the wild heath was once the haunt of highwaymen. The signpost and gas lamp we see here (centre right) commemorates Queen Victoria`s Diamond Jubilee of 1897. It was renovated and converted to electricity in 1994. Knight & Son's store looks full of tempting furnishings for the early Edwardian home.

The railway came through Bagshot in 1878, which necessitated this viaduct being constructed. The first house on the left is Peel House, which was built in 1851 as Bagshot Police Station, one of only four in the whole of Surrey at that time.
