During the second war my father Ronald Micheal Newell was moved from W.T.Henleys London office to Milton Court, Dorking. He told me that as an Electrical Estimator he was involved in working out the costs etc. for RADAR and PLUTO the oil pipeline from England to the Normandy beaches, also the Mulberry Harbours that were sent from England to France.
I worked in the Buying sction of W. T. Henleys as a Clerk for about two years before leaving to join another cable manufactring company at Leatherhead. I remember there being a very fine staircase in the building.
