Old Boarden Bridge 1906
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

A deleted memory from Philip Le Houx of this site (formerly?), says he remembers John Dean, the swimming instructor of Charterhouse. I am John Dean, my Great Grandfather was Edward Dean Snr. When he retired in about 1930 his son, also Edward Dean (my Great Uncle) took over as swimming instructor. I guess this is who he means. He also mentions the sweet / grocery shop in Peperharrow Road. Edward Dean Snr's wife worked in a shop in this road but i'm not sure which shop it was or when. Her name was Elizabeth but she could have been known by any number of variations of this name. She died in 1933, her husband died a fortnight later. They are buried together in Eashing Cemetary.
