Crosfield House, The Children's Home in Packhorse Road
I was one of the children who lived in the children's home called Crossfield House, from about 1959/60 to about 1965. My sister joined me a year or two after I went there to live, her name is Brenda. There were about 12 to 16 children that lived there. We had a matron and a house mother who looked after us and did a very good job to. I have some very fond memories of my time in that home and I would love to get in touch with any of the people who were there too.
The Packhorse Inn, Gerrards Cross
Yes I remember The Packhorse too. I lived at Denham and had friends in Tatling End. Every now and then we would catch the 455 and get off at the Packhorse to go for a drink or walk up to the Picturehouse to see a film. We would usually go into Uxbridge to do this but ocassionally for a change go there. This would be between 1956 and 59. Very happy times - John Hawkins.
ps - someone may remember me from that period.
Crossfield House
Hi, I lived in Crossfield House from 1982 to 1983. I have a photo of it. If you want a copy please contact me. I am new to this site so will see how it works, but it is not possible to upload pics on here.
Where I Was Born
I was born in Gerrards Cross in 1943 and lived my young happy childhood days there. My father H. W. Payne ran a cycle shop at what was then 31, Station Parade. Many friends lived in the railway cottages near the rail station.
A parade of shops now on this site and the village school pulled down long ago I suspect.
The family left the area in the early 1950s.
I last visited Gerrards Cross about three years ago when I saw that our old shop was then a fine confectioners and The Packhorse Inn transformed beyond recognition.
I have been back to the area researching the family tree - many ancestors lying in the cemetery at Seer Green. My paternal grandparents sleep peacefully at St. James Church.
Happy days back then - and the memories remain forever

Crosfield House
I loved this place. I lived in the children's home called Crosfield House and we would often be allowed out for a walk and we would go to this pond and just sit and chat. I would love to have a photo of that home but I do not think that there are any around. I have such fond memories of this place.
The Year I Was Born...
Dearest Gerrards Cross, what were you doing the year I was born? Life was simpler then; the world a gentler place. The year I was born there was a pond. It's gone now I think, but you live on always.
I Came Back
I was 5 years old the year this photo was taken. The Packhorse looks the same but the area around it seems different. Funny how memories are. I loved this town, Gerrards Cross, because this is where my Nana and Grandad lived. Every tree, every house is precious. In 2001, I brought my daughters to England from America. It was a sad year for our country after Sept. 11th. This picture reminds me of the one bright moment, lunch at the Packhorse Inn with my two precious girls, in the town where my Nana and Grandad lived.
