2, Grove Cottages, Leatherhead Road
My brother Ray and myself lived at this address, depicted on the right of the photograph, with our parents, Alec and Doris, known as Dot and Davie. During the war a child from 1, Grove Cottages crawled through the fence and was killed on the road outside by a passing coach. Just beyond our house, which used to be a public house called The Saracen & Ring, a flint and brick wall was demolished, almost opposite The Victoria Hotel, by a Bren-Gun Carrier on the way to Normandy with a convoy of military vehicles. The wall was never re-built.
