1960s
Yes I remember the Chocolate Box sweet shop. I went to the Infants School and my mum worked at the wood yard part time. My grandparents lived at 1 Tottenham Road and I used to go there after school. Sometimes I enviously watched the tap dancing across the road at a community hall. We lived at Binscombe Cresent and Long Gore. There was a bakery as well below the train station.

RE: RE: 1960s
Hi just had to comment. I don't remember myself as I'm only 23 but I talk to my mum lots about our beautiful village. When we read this memory she was shocked how similar it was to some of her memories! She Lived in Binscombe Crescent and remembers going to the Chocolate Box, buying sweets from the shop next to the bakers too, and going to the off-licence in the evenings that was joined to the White Hart pub. On leaving school she worked at Godalming laundry and then left and worked at the wood yard until it closed and she fell pregnant with me.
