Great Grandfather

A Memory of Godalming.

My great-grandfather was a swimming instructor at Charterhouse. He lived in the last (?) house on the right, just before the lane leading to Charterhouse. The swimming pool was directly behind the back garden. Before this was built they used to swim in the River Wey which was accessed by a path opposite the lane. The remains of the wooden platform on the river bank still remain. His son took over the job when he retired due to having a stroke after saving someone from the river. If you remember him, I would love to hear from you: john@broadwaycars.com
