Memories of Housing 1906, Blackdown Camp
Now Cyprus Road, Deepcut
These buildings look like the now demolished army quarters at what is now known as Cyprus Road, Deepcut.
Burrow Hill School
I was at Burrow Hill for 18 months, having been sent there because of poor conditions at home. It was the happiest time of my life. We lived in dorms that were built for wounded GI's during the war. They were built on stilts and had stable type doors. We used torches at night to move from building to building as there were no lights on the paths. Supper was a mug of cocoa and a thick slice of bread and dripping. For a boy from a London slum it was heaven! I would love to hear from anyone who was there about that time or has any photographs.

Bermuda Terrace
My dad was in the REME we lived in Bermuda Terrace and then Dettingen Road. Does anyone remember putting out the summer fires in the woods?
Living at Number 3 Victoria Terrace When Was A Child
I was about 8 or 9 I think when we lived at 3 Victoria Terrace. There was a picture of me in the garden front, facing what was then the army barracks as my dad was a chef. I went to the Blackdown Cchool, I was then known as Annette Mort. I remember playing on the field near the nearby woods too. We then moved to 12 Newfoundland Road shortly after. My friend was called Tina, we went to the same school. I was 11 when we left there but even as a child and Im 43 now I remember still there used to be a swimmimg pool across from number 12. My brother went to the Robert Haining Secondary School, hes' 7 years older than me. We moved from there to London, Hounslow. I also rememeber there was a swing park near Victoria Terrace that we played in, we had a great time and a good childhood...
