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.
Ian.

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 lived in the first of the pair. I went to school in Frimley Green with his son.
