Memory For Ewell 1945 55

A Memory of Ewell.

Down Beggers Hill and round the bend, just a short distance from the Jolly Wagoners and next to the Eight Bells, there was a blacksmiths who used a furnace to shape the iron shoes that were used to shoe horses. The horses from Ewell Riding Stables were taken there regularly, the blacksmith being very patient with the girls who rode the horses there. The stables were run by Shep, I never knew his proper name. Across from The Waggoners was a row of buildings, one of which housed Powels Boot Repairs. It was here my brother Patrick Murphy started work before he joined the Navy.
