Frimley, Station Road 1921
Ref: 69921a
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 1921
Ref: 69922
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.

Frimley Green, Old Cottage 1906
Ref: 54907
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.

I was there for two terms in the mid 1950s, it is so long ago that I can't be sure of the year. I remember headmaster Mr Reece and teachers Mr Bellis, Mr Jarman, Mr Howell, Mr Allen and housemothers Miss Rempy and Miss Harwood. The houses were Orchard, Gardens and woodlands. We watched the Farnborough Air Show from the grounds one time. After living in Shepherds Bush, it was like another world to be there. My best mate was Terry Mulligan from Wandsworth.

Frimley Green, Old Cottage 1906
Ref: 54907
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 and in areas close by. My mother like so many young girls of that time was in service, she used to talk about working at 'The Big House', would any of the folks reading this know where that was?
Thank you.
