Merebrook
We lived at Merebrook, Dormans Park for ten years from around 1952. My parents were Lilian and Peter Deverall and we were five children - Clive, Michele, Camilla, Nicolas and Louise. We lived next door to the Samsons - also a large family - Larry and June and children, Nicky, Penny, Jacky, ricky and Kim. On the other side were the Turners - Charles, Jamie and Hukin. Their house was called Falacre. We also knew the Wards, the Gilberts, the Slipners - who were American and lived at Eden Vale before the Samsons with their grand daughter Michele. I went to school at Little Felcourt and then Highfield. We walked to the bottom of the road and across the fields to catch the bus at Charters Towers to Lingfield Road East Grinstead - we'd get off and buy a cream doughnut for 1 penny at the bakers. The Slanns lived opposite at Badmington Hall. We were told that the Park was built for the Prince of Wales... Read more

Sally Busby(nee Bench)
I had to leave this school due to my father's death and missed it terribly. ALL my closest friends were now too far away to see. Because it was a boarding school, it was like being taken away from my family. My most enjoyable young years were had here.
Folk Club
The pub in the background is the Ship Inn. In the late 60s/early 70s I used to go to an excellent folk club in a room above the pub.
The Glanfield Hotel
My parents managed the Glanfield for Ind Coope & Allsop in the late 1940's and early 1950's and I went to a prep school called Aston House (long gone)
Forest Row
My great-grandfather Stephen Whiting Easton was a watchmaker who had a shop in Hartfield Road. He was also a master carpenter and he made a scale model of the local church. On his death the model was kept by his daughter Eva Luck. My family went often to view the model, but on one occasion Eva announced that she had sold it. Does anyone remember the model or know what happened to it?
Family
My grandmother and her children lived in East Grinstead on Glen Vue. It was just a dirt road which came to a dead end. I do not remember my grandfather as he died when I was very young. I can remember spending Christmases with my grandmother. East Grinstead was hit by a bomb in the war. There was a direct hit on a cinema and the death toll was over 80. Later in the war a doodle bug hit the town in almost the same spot.I can remember the barrage baloons in the war. The EG railway station was unique as it had two levels. I can recall going to the Noddy to use the swings. These we chained up on Sundays so they could not be used. I now live in Canada but on visits back I always went to EG. to see my aunts and uncles. Sadly they have all passed away. I can recall the Co-Op with its blue roof. When you paid the server... Read more
