Ivybank Childrens Home
I thought I would leave a message here also, I was a child at Ivybank Children's Home in Nightingale Lane. Sadly though I don't think it is there any longer. We were an all-girls children's home, with a range of ages from 5 years to 16 years. The home was run by Auntie Bonnie. Ivybank had a massive green front door, and lots of grounds, which ran down literally to the fence by the railway line into Godalming. I remember St. Johns School which I attended, and also the church. Does anyone here remember the Chocolate Box Sweet Shop, or the steam trains, and standing on the iron bridge in Farncombe and holding your breath until the train had passed under...?
I would love to find someone with a photograph of Ivybank.

I remember Ivy Bank very well. I lived at Munstead and went to Meadrow Secondary Modern School. I had a friend called Jessica Taylor who lived at Ivy Bank. When I called for her I always went to the side door and knocked. I was never invited in, I used to wait for her outside. I also remember very well the railway bridge. When I was 16 I moved to Farncombe. I now live in Sussex by the sea! Ivy Bank was pulled down and there are flats there now. The son of my friend, who lives down here, lives in one of the flats and it is still called Ivy Bank
