The Brickyard, Charlwood
I lived at Lowfield Park Lodge on the Charlwood Road (from the long-disappeared Lowfield Heath) from about 1950 to 1962, and I believe the house was demolished around 1965(???) to make way for the expansion of Gatwick airport.
My dad and I used to fish for carp in what we called the Brickyard Pond about a 5 minute drive from (I think) the pub that Dudley Wickens' dad used to be landlord of ... or have I got it all wrong?
My parents were Mary and George and my sister's name is Anne.
Mary Bailey was Personnel Manager at BMB - also on the Charlwood road from Lowfield Heath as I recall.
Does this ring any bells?.... I would love to have info/photos of the Brickyard and its pond .....and anything else remotely connected.
Many thanks
Alan Bailey

RE: RE: The Brickyard, Charlwood
Didley Wickens and some of the Wickens family are still in the village. The Rising Sun is now an Indian restaurant. Charlwood has changed a lot, even in the twenty five years since I've been here, but some things remain the same.
