Childhood

High Street c1935
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

Looking at the pictures takes me back to my childhood, having lived in the village for 20 years. My home was at the end of this slip road behind the large hedge. I remember walking down to the bakers and to Taylor and Bristows, to me was like an Aladdin's cave, and then on to the butcher for steak for my dog. The village has changed but many things have stayed the same, only older. I still go back for the odd walk round. It was great to find this web site.

RE: RE: Childhood

I love Godstone and would live there tomorrow, my wife and I spent all our happy times together at Stangrave Hall when she worked there. We lived there after I came out of the army, I started work at Bristow Helicopters near Redhill and it was the happest time of our lives.
