My Early Years

A Memory of East Horsley.

I was born in Sheepwash cottage in 1926 the year Tommy Sopwith left the Towers and it was turned into a girls colledge by Miss Maule and Miss Isaceson . My father had worked for Tommy Sopwith for many years at the Towers and he stayed on as estate foreman. We moved into the cottage horsley towers as most of the old estate was sold to the developers. The old back enterance became the front enterance, everything had to go through the tunnel under the gardens.
We moved away when the school closed down, that was in 1935 I think.
