Crabtree Lane
Hi, the house in this picture is called Ralphs Cross. The road that runs up next to it is now Crabtree Lane. I lived there from 1968 until 1983, near the top, no 43, on the corner of Halepit Road. It was a nice bungalow and I remember many of the kids/neighbours. I am in touch with many via Friendsreunited and Facebook. We went to South Bookham Infants and Eastwick Middle School. Jenny Hammond and her family lived in one half of Ralphs Cross. It was a strange-shaped house and was actually meant to be a jail, apparently. Jenny was in my class at school. Other local children were Juliet Major, Paula Patterson, Janet Sutton, the Pillings, the Coombers, Penny Grant, Louise and Russell Waite, Ian and Kim Boddy, Vanessa Day, Elaine Wright, Paul and Nick Gale, Janice and Jeremy Oldacre, the Chittys, Mark State, Fiona Macdonald, Geraldine, Phillippa Saunders, Sharron and Leon Butcher, Louise Savin, Christopher and Sue Hunt, Linda and Yvette etc. I've heard from most of them, and it would be nice to hear from other Bookham people.

RE: RE: Crabtree Lane
From the 1940's until late 1950s my grandparents lived at Mostyn - Crabtree Lane, then my aunt lived there till mid 1960's. Mostyn's garden went all the way down to 12 Dawnay Road which was owned by my grandparents as well as 14 and 16. Each family member were given a house and our gardens joined up with Grannys- we used to run up through the orchard to the back garden of Mostyn.
