The Shop on Cobham Tilt

My father Clive Impey,was demobbed from the forces in 1946 and at the time the shop was a shoe repair shop. He converted it to a greengrocers shop and during the next few years it became a general store. My mother Jocelyn worked and helped out in the shop. Although we lived in D'abernon Drive, I spent most of my childhood around the Tilt and the River Mole, fishing! My father sold the shop in 1972 to a customer's son-in-law and it stayed as a shop until it was converted to a residential cottage. My memories are so vivid of playing football on the Tilt green with all the other local lads.
