Fond Memories

A Memory of Great Bookham.

I grew up at No 12 Dawnay Rd and stayed here until about 1975. This picture was taken from the Dorking Road, at the time we had a shop (grocers) which was run by Harry Absolem and his daughter Diane on the right hand corner. A lovely red telephone box stood on the right hand corner of this picture as well. Grass land to the left was were we played as children and hid. As you progess down the road very few people had cars or garages. Most had lovely front gardens and at about no 24/26 a chap called Harry Tuck grew the most fabulous Dahlias!.
