I was married at Blindley Heath Church in June 1961, it was a lovely warm sunny day. We had our reception at the Red Barn, it was superb and it only cost 7 shillings and sixpence a head. Those were the days.

I can remember walking from the village school to Gibbs stores with my mother so that she could place her weekly grocery order and pay for the last week's delivery. She did this on a Monday and the goods were delivered on a Friday.

I lived in Danemore Lane just a few yards from Anglefield Corner from 1939 until I was married in 1961. I remember having to wait for ages to cross the road at weekends because there was so much traffic. As my father was a special constable he would be on duty to direct the traffic at weekends.

Surrey memories
Rod Swift remarked about falling in the pond - well I was one of these. Rod must be my cousin's son, as my aunt and uncle lived in the house referred to. Around 1953 on an icy cold day in winter, a crowd of us were going home after school. On passing the pond we knew there was thick ice so... [more]

If you hadn't fallen in the pond, you were not from Lingfield! So says my dad. The building to the right of the cage in this photo was a shop. My memory of this shop only goes back to the mid 1970s. My grandparents' house was behind the shop (the hedge to the right on this photo is the edge of... [more]

I moved to Outwood 10 years ago to work at the Bell Inn. With its own unique charm I was taken with it from the moment I entered. Originally run by a Mr. John Lane the pub was sold a few years later to a private investor and was sold again to the brewery Fullers who have it now. The pub... [more]

When I was about 5 years old I remember my mum picking me up from Smallfield school on her bike, I was in the back on a little seat when a doodlebug roared overhead, and the engine switched off ... My mum panicked, and pushed me off the bike behind a wall, we heard the bang towards Gatwick airport. We then... [more]

I was born at 1 Kings Cottages in April 1931. I have two brothers, and as young boys we were close friends of the late Gerald Mitchel. Gerald's mum, nee Doris King, lived with her husband (Syd, who served with the RAF) in what was then called Brickyard Cottages. Their next door neighbours were the Gunn family. I have so many...

Coulsdon, Chipstead and Woodmansterne Photographic Memories
The Corner Shop and Station Parade Post Office still provides an invaluable service to residents and passers-by, but an extension has been built on to the end wall for Saab who also trade from the garage premises shown here. George Jones commenced running The Corner Shop in 1966 with his wife, Pat.

Coulsdon, Chipstead and Woodmansterne Photographic Memories
Woodmansterne Station, situated in Coulsdon, did not arrive until 1932 and, although some distance from the old village, it was an impor- tant factor in the development of new roads off Rectory Lane as well as the profusion of roads in west Coulsdon. The photographic record importantly shows the villages at different stages of their expansion and repays careful study in understanding the way they have evolved. This record can... [more]

Coulsdon, Chipstead and Woodmansterne Photographic Memories
A Victorian terrace was demolished to make way for the commanding Tesco store in the early 1960s, but after several changes the building presently houses the Kabada restaurant, a snooker hall and the Thai Venue. On the right, Mr Grover`s business of garden ornaments and fencing has now been replaced by lines of second-hand cars on the corner of Station Approach.
