Memories of West Sussex
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.

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)
