Surrey memories
Sandhills
This is where I was born in 1950. I remember being pushed in my pram into Witley to the Post Office. Although I was only a baby I remember the peace of the area. It was a wonderful place to be born.
1950 Year of my Birth in Witley
I was born in Sandhills, Witley in 1950. Witley is still a very picturesque village.
Jasmine Cottage, Petworth Road
In 1956, my family moved into Jasmine Cottage which stands behind the wall on the left of this picture. It was (is) the centre cottage of 3 in one old building. There was a family that lived in the house on the right, where I got my first sight of a television. The program that was on TV when I first saw it was a Test Match, (cricket). The White Heart pub was just up the road on the right and if you turned left, opposite the White Heart, the church was on the right and the village school was on the left. I went to that village school before becoming a boarder at KES. I now live in Kentucky, USA
One Very Good Pub in England
One of My Employments of Yesteryear: Did you know that this public house has a corner where George Elliot used to write some of her famous books? Situated right opposite the War Memorial and next door to where Harry Swallow, who I believe was the head master of Witley School. I used to work there as a waitress in the 1950s and loved being part of Arthur Newland's team...a great boss to work for.
Those Were The Days
I worked at Enton Hall in Witley, and often saw actresses and actors who were there for treatment, ie. Anthony Newley, Rita Hayworth etc. On one particular morning I arrived to clean Anthony Newley's chalet and found that some young girl, or girls, had plastered his door with a million lipstick kisses...to say that he was not amused would be an understatement? The proprietors were Norman Jarvis and Mr Reddell.
Rapley Family
My memories are all in the mid 1950s when I used to visit my grandma and aunts and uncles. My father is commemorated on this war memorial and the vase seen on the left was one his brother had placed there. It was always filled with flowers until later on, after my uncle died, it was put on the family grave.
Northfields, Witley
As a child on holiday with my aunts, uncles and grandma who lived at Northfields (where the post office is situated by the main road), I would spend many happy times buying pens, pencils, notebooks etc. I remember a Mr Bannister used to run the shop then.
