This photograph was added to the Frith Website in 2006, I believe.
However, I think it was taken towards the West end of Earlswood Common. I think it is of my Great Grandfather's home, Mackrells. GGF William Brown was a master brickmaker. The family firm was at Mackrells for over 100 years, making bricks and... [more]

This most likely stood in my family's New Pond Brickyard. The family firm was W Brown and Sons. The New Pond yard existed from 1813 to about 1938.

Redhill swimming baths and town
Does anyone remember the old swimming baths at Redhill? I started swimming there in the 1970s when it was still a Victorian building. The steps in the pool were of stone and the changing rooms were around the poolsides with wooden doors. You could pay to have a slipper bath! There was a young lady who gave you a box to... [more]

I remember the Teddy Boys and 'winkle pickers'. Our baby-sitter used to rock and roll in the living room, and us kids used to laugh because we could see her underwear when her flared skirt twirled! She used to paint our nails for us with pink varnish, and lacquer our hair with squeezy bottle Rosedale Hairspray which only cost a... [more]

Like the young cool girl who remembers the Hollies at the Market Hall on a Saturday night, I too found live music there. I think me and a school mate (from Radnor House School for boys) called Hank Jell, so named after Hank Marvin, attended on its opening night. We saw Nero and the Gladiators supported by Tony Rivers and the... [more]

I too trained at RHG from 1963-1966 and I don't think any training these days could surpass the excellent training I received there. It was hard work but fun and I learned a lot and met some lovely people along the way. I ended up as a sister on ward 20 at Smallfield hospital and left in 1968 to go to... [more]

I was born in Redhill and attended St Matthew's School and then Bishop Simpson Girls' School. I left Redhill in 1977 when I married and moved to Melbourne, Australia (my maiden name was O'Donovan).
I have been back to Redhill several times. I last visited in 1999 and could not believe how much Redhill had changed. My favourite store... [more]

The picture is of the old East Surrey Hospital and I can remember my mother being an in patient there for many weeks around 1954--- as children we were not allowed in to the wards and I can remember waving to my Mum through a window.
I did my nurse training at Redhill General-- starting as a pre nursing... [more]

Coulsdon, Chipstead and Woodmansterne Photographic Memories
The Corner Shop and Station Parade Post Office still provides an invaluable service to residents and passers-by, but an extension has been built on to the end wall for Saab who also trade from the garage premises shown here. George Jones commenced running The Corner Shop in 1966 with his wife, Pat.

Coulsdon, Chipstead and Woodmansterne Photographic Memories
Woodmansterne Station, situated in Coulsdon, did not arrive until 1932 and, although some distance from the old village, it was an impor- tant factor in the development of new roads off Rectory Lane as well as the profusion of roads in west Coulsdon. The photographic record importantly shows the villages at different stages of their expansion and repays careful study in understanding the way they have evolved. This record can... [more]

Coulsdon, Chipstead and Woodmansterne Photographic Memories
A Victorian terrace was demolished to make way for the commanding Tesco store in the early 1960s, but after several changes the building presently houses the Kabada restaurant, a snooker hall and the Thai Venue. On the right, Mr Grover`s business of garden ornaments and fencing has now been replaced by lines of second-hand cars on the corner of Station Approach.
