Farnham 1945 To 1965

A Memory of Farnham.

So many memories of Farnham. Although I was born in Aldershot much of our shopping was done in Farnham. I recall the joys of the Christmas card display in a basement below the stationers that was under the colonnade. My first dancing class was held in the practice room of the Castle theatre - always we liked to dance to the Skaters waltz. We danced at garden parties around the town and once at some special show in the castle grounds. Long gone are the Spinning Wheel antiques, Smyths fashions, Harold Hodgson's shop at the side of castle Street, the Castle tea Room and Nelson and Goodrich's haberdashery. Does anyone else have a photo of themselves when young taken by the photographers in the Borough - Sheila and Bob Worth ? Years later I worked for a year in Wells book shop in Castle Street and Miss Wells used to come from Winchester to check up on the shop. I also taught at St. George's school for a while and played the piano for the mission church (St. Francis ) at the top of Crondall Lane Bronwen Tickner nee Mills.
