GREW UP IN CHIDD IN THE 50-60'S. HAPPY MEMORIES OF CHILDHOOD DAYS'
STILL "HOME" TO ME.. THOUGH NO LONGER LIVING THERE
Shared on 10 February 2007
As a child living in Chidd during the war we had freedom to roam anywhere we wished, ie Sidenhurst lakes (where I caught my first carp), the brooks where we fished for tiddlers which we cooked over a camp fire, climbed trees and made camps. Girls and boys played and swam together down the Lagg's in water so muddy it was... [more]

Surrey memories
I lived in the second cottage in from about 1984-1990 when both my parents worked at King Edward's School, my mum as a nurse in the San and my dad as a plumber in the boiler houses. I had an idyllic childhood here and used to play in the woods opposite and climb trees in the fields behind. Is the school... [more]

My Grandmother, Grace Mary Enticknap (later Gravett) was born in Hambledon in 1906. I have just found this out researching my family history, and am so excited to find these old photographs of the village - and nearby Witley where she and her family also lived at one stage. Now I can imagine what life was like for her, her parents... [more]

There were only 25 children in our tiny school, which was a shock when we got to middle school! We used to play up the common and when the nuns from St. Domonic's rang the bell for 6pm we all knew it was time to go in. On Sundays Mrs Jackson's grandchildren would come up from Chiddingfold and she'd take us... [more]

Extracts From Chiddingfold & Surrey books

Villages of Surrey Photographic Memories
The word 'fold' means an enclosure of land for animals, and 'Chadynge`s fold' may well date back to the Saxon period. From the 14th to the 17th century, Chiddingfold was the centre of a great glass-making industry with French, Flemish and German craftsmen coming here to work. It died out following a Royal Proclamation in 1615 prohibiting the use of wood as an industrial fuel.

This old hawthorn tree is mentioned as a landmark in a 500-year-old local deed. It stands in front of a row of pretty tile-hung buildings. In total, 107 buildings in the village are listed as having special historical and architectural interest.

Godalming Town and City Memories
Three of Church Street's five pubs are in this photo - the Corn Meter extreme left, the Star centre left, and the Live and Let Live just beyond the archway on the right. The arch led to the rear of the Angel Hotel yard, owned at that time by John Jasper Taylor, who also had a temperance hotel, Deanery House, further down Church Street. ... [more]
