I have this photograph on the wall as it reminds me of my dad, Arthur Edward Elson. He was born in Mill Lane in 1914 and worked as a 'butcher's boy' for Baldwin's which is just visible on the right of the photo.
He delivered meat to customers by bicycle which is how he met my mother, she had come down... [more]

This is the church that my parents were married in, April 12th 1958. I haven't seen it since 1974, when we emigrated to Australia. Their wedding photos were taken in front of the church, with family members, many of whom are no longer with us.

Surrey memories
In our early teens we used to go to the Nell Gwynne, upstairs in the 'coffee bar' where we had what I believe was the worlds first Nickelodeon (manual version). We paid the lady 3d, I think it was, and she put our favourite record on the record player on the counter and we listened while we chatted.
Anybody out there... [more]

I was born in Epsom in 1936. Apparently, when still in my push-chair, I trundled down the bank shown in the picture and ended up in the water!! Later when 10 or 12 we used to sail our model yachts on the pond and in our teens spent a lot of evenings in the park chatting up the girls! Happy, happy... [more]

I was born in a house that is not yet built in this photo, the house would be on the bottom left corner of this print. I still live 200 yards away, level with where the photograph was taken. The area of trees and shrubs on both sides of this view of Dorking Road were developed. However to the rear of... [more]

My brother and I used to play in the woods on Woodcote Green and build dens. We also used to paddle in the pond in wellies, or walk on the ice in winter.

This photo was taken from immediately in front of my Uncle's/Father's (Antiques) shop in Waterloo Road, looking towards the station. Divers, the shop with all the hardware items immediately in the foreground, was next door and I was always being told off as a child for touching/playing with their goods!

Around Cheam, including Sutton, Ewell, Banstead and Epsom Photographic Memories
Three children have been enticed by the photographer into providing a human focal point in the foreground of this picture, with the ivy-clad tower of the old medieval parish church of St Mary the Virgin beyond. The main body of this flint and stone church was demolished in 1848, leaving the tower to serve as a funeral chapel until the start... [more]

Around Cheam, including Sutton, Ewell, Banstead and Epsom Photographic Memories
The pond is situated at the junction of the London and Chessington Roads. The waters emerging from the springs here are reputed to be the coldest in England, a feature probably much appreciated by the two horses seen in this photograph. On the far side of the pond a smartly-attired coachman in a top hat has diverted from the foot of... [more]

Around Cheam, including Sutton, Ewell, Banstead and Epsom Photographic Memories
Named after Rokesley, a 15th-century owner of the surrounding farmland, Ruxley Lane links the roads from Ewell to Chessington and to Kingston, and crosses the Hogsmill River south of Tolworth. But in the early decades of the 20th century, this small footbridge and the adjacent, spectacular ford provided the only means of passage across the water at this point. ... [more]
