Barrow Hill School, Frimley
I come from Battersea, SW London. My mother sent me to Barrow Hill School when I was 8 years old, I stayed there for 3 years. We lived in dormitories. The head master at that time was Mr Churchill. I had a nice time there, sports day was good. My mother used to come and visit me. There were places there where we used to venture out. The army used to leave all their ammunition lying around, it was out of bounds to us kids. It would be nice to have some pictures of the old school then if anybody has got any please email me.
Blast From The Past.
Wow, did that ever shake me to the core. The names Richardson and Fairminer, Long and a few others sprang to mind as fellow pupils at the local Primary School. In those days I lived in Worsley Road. I can remember fishing the Basingstoke canal at Frimley Green and seeing the last barge go by which I beleive was scuttled just before the flight of locks. I have lived and worked in the area for a number of years but now retired, live just outside Basingstoke. Any past friends and aquaintances are welcome to contact me. My email is chipieman@msn.com and I look forword to reading more.
My Grandparent's Home
I received information from my cousin Leslie about this photo. Now that I have found it I am delighted. My grandparents were Thomas Benjamin Fairminer (1881-1954) who married Louisa Florence Smith (1880 - 1944). They raised 11 children, some of them at Bedford Lane. Their birth dates range from 1900 to 1924. My mother Florence Louisa (known as Ciss) was born in 1905. I remember visiting Bedford Lane as a very young child, one of my mother's brothers, Alfred, lived a couple of houses down. A Mr D F Richardson shared information about this photo in April 2006. He says that he went to school with one of Mr Fairminer's sons, who must have been one of my uncles. I wonder which one it was? I am researching my mother's family and this is a lovely piece of information for me to include. During my research I have been able to get in touch with a number of cousins, many of them and their families still live in Frimley Green... Read more
Burrow Hill School
Dear Burrow HIll lads, I don't know why some of the lads have not got in touch with me lately, I have got 4 books of Burrow Hill School waiting to be sold, anybody that would like one please let me know. It took me a year to complete this book. Hope to hear from someone soon. PS, Roger Hibbrd, Frank Thurlow and Colin Schulman said the book is fantastic. Your Burrow Hill lad Eric Morris.
Burrow Hill School
I enjoyed the memories of Burrow Hill School. I worked there for a few years in the new school as a Housemaster. This was in the new school, which housed 140 boys. At that time is was run by the L.C.C. and headmaster was Mr. Churchill. Later it was a private boys school but sadly became redundant. At that time we had a Scout Troop and an Army cadet force. Happy days.

Orme Family
My nan and grandad lived at Glenmount Road in the early 1930s with their 3 children. Does anyone know where the nearest graveyard is and whether there is an Edith Irene Foss buried there? A needle in a haystack but who knows :)
Post Office
My gran & grandad started their new life here after they were wed in 1934. They had 2 more children then my gran took her bike to the local newsagent where she was knocked down by an army lorry. She died later, leaving her 3 babies. Only after my dad has passed away, her last child. I have dicovered her name Edith Irene Foss aged 25. I would love to find the newspaper clipping or know where she was layed to rest. My grandad never mentioned her or kept one photo or letter. I've since found her sister's grandchild but she's as blank as me. If I do find anything I will post it on here.
