Nostalgic memories of Esher's local history

Share your own memories of Esher and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

Yew Tree Cottages
I lived in Yew Tree Cottages, Portsmouth Road, Esher next to the Marquis of Granby pub. I went to Esher Primary School and my mother also went to that school. My father was a welsh guard at Sandown Park. My grandfather was a taxi driver with horse and trap to start with. He used to wait outside Esher station. I remember the air raid shelters on the common where we used to have to go.

Happy Days
In 1945 I was stationed in Esher racecouse, as a Welsh Guard who had just completed 3 months of hard discipline in the guards depot in Caterham. The difference in Esher to the depot was remarkable, N.C.Os were suddenly human beings who treated men as men, not objects. I can say in the 3 years I was in the army that the time at Esher was the most enjoyable. I was also friendly with a girl named Mary Edwards. She live in a ...see more
