Wayside cottages

My great grandmother Lilian Clark was born and brought up in the right hand cottage. The last family member to live there was my great uncle Frank Clark who died in the mid 1980s.

Number 19a Bus from Bognor Regis

Brings back memories of watching the driver remove the 'Limited Stop' board from the front of the Bus and to change back to Number 19. Use to live above Strattons Shop; my Bedroom use to overlook the Bus Stop and Overtons Garage.

Good times

I always remember stopping off for a paddle here on my way home from Frensham Junior school.  I remember my nan used to give me my bus fare. But I used to prefer to walk along past the pond so I could stop for a quick paddle.

post office

I remember walking to this post office many a time as I used to live with my nan etc. at Churt House Cottage. The post office was run by a lady of the name Mrs Heaps.  I used to go there for the big bottles of Tizer.

Extracts From Churt & Surrey books

Villages of Surrey Photographic Memories

Today the inn sign of this well-known local landmark features the former prime minister David Lloyd George, who made his home close by at Bron-y-de in 1921. In his later life he successfully farmed and grew fruit on his land, and during the Second World War sold his produce from his own shop.

Villages of Surrey Photographic Memories

Nestling deep in a wooded valley, the tranquillity of this view is a world away from the busy A287 that runs through here today. A sign on the wall of the post office informs customers that a public telephone can be used here.

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]
