Holloway Hill 1910
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

Hidden by or almost visible in the trees beyond the large house on the left is a small cottage or lodge, opposite the beginning of Busbridge Lane just visible behind and to the right of the people in the road. One morning during the war (WW2) a stray
Doodlebug (Flying bomb) landed and exploded opposite this cottage and destroyed it. Minutes before, the occupants, adults and several children had left and gone down to school in Godalming. I lived in Duncombe Road and we had broken windows and a cracked wall in our house.
