Distant Memories
I had returned to UK from Queensland to visit my mother who was ill and waiting at the platform entrance at Waterloo station when a former colleague from Post Office Overseas Telegraph came up to me and we began a conversation as if we had just left work together, I went with him to his house in Frimley on the Green and met his wife where I found out he was considering early retirement and had a trip planned on one of the Queens to New York and back to celebrate, we downed a bottle or two of his home brew and I left for Eastleigh the following morning, completely forgetting to exchange addresses (mum's illness was weighing on my mind) I am heading back to UK in December 2011 for my eldest son's wedding and will be trying to trace a few old names if I am lucky enough, Terry and Maureen Maynard are you still there in Frimley on the Green Surrey?
Deepcut Village
This image is actually taken from Deepcut Bridge Road, around the junction of Woodend Road, with the barracks away to the left. Blackdown Road is a few hundred yards behind the photographer here. The shops in view are now a hairdressers, and fast food places!
29 Station Rd, Frimley
Would anyone have a photo of 29 Station Road, Frimley? If it's still standing, that is. I was born there in 1951. I'm now a resident of Australia and would like to see it. If you can help, please send to qp2742@yahoo.com.au
Many thanks.

Frimley, The Grove
My father was born in Frimley and lived at No 8 The Grove till he married and moved to Dartford, then Wastwater and finally emigrated to South Africa after the Second World War. I visited my late grandparents, Mr H H Finch and Mrs B E Finch, in the early 1970s and had a really good time, visited the White Hart with my grandad, and the local hospital to see my grandmother.
I have very fond memories of The Grove and Frimley village, and it was great finding a picture of it on the internet.

Memories of Bedford Lane.
This cottage is in Bedford Lane. I lived in the house called Connemara which is still in Bedford Lane. My father Samuel Frederick Richardson and his brother George were both bricklayers. Both were demolishing the cottage and they were burning the thatch. My brother John was playing dare. He walked through the outer edge of the white ash and dared me to walk through the middle. Unfortunately I did and was very badly burned. Mother rushed round all the houses, collecting tea leaves to put on my legs. In those days people didn't empty their pots every brew. They just topped them up with a little more tea and hot water. To this day, I do not know where Mother got the idea of the tea leaves. It certainly worked. Just a few little scars and they are hard to find. After demolishing the cottage, they built a red briick pair of houses. A Mr Fairminer... Read more

Living in Frimley
I was born in Frimley in 1957. We lived in a bungalow along the Frimley Green Road. I loved Frimley as a child, it was mainly farmland even then. I particularly remember the Manor House opposite St Peter's Church. I remember going there once with my Father and we went into the hallway which was absolutely fantastic. When it was being pulled down I remember sneaking into the house with my friends and pretending there was a ghost after us! I would be really interested if anyone has a picture of the Manor House as it was a lovely old place.
Wilsons Estate
We lived in Field Lane from 1961 until 1990 something, the tin shed located at Lakeside school was to house motor vehicles from the Wilson estate which is now the Alphington Avenue area with the lovely lake. I remember larking around in the old house when it was in a state of disrepair waiting to be demolished. I also remember when Lakeside school was built, you could look out of the windows over the playground and look at the fields up to Burrow hill, but again another development was built on the old farm in the mid 1970s. I would welcome any more information on the Wilson Estate.
