I lived in Dowlans Road from 1934 to 1952 when I did National Service. I was the errand boy for Harry Absolam from 1944 to 1946 when I started work in London. The 2 girls behind the counter were Joan Guy and Thelma?

RE: RE: Dawnay Road

Harry Absalom had the grocers shop on the corner of Dawnay Road and the Dorking Road. Elmer Absalom had the grocers shop in the High Street and next door to him, Ernie Absalom had the confectioners shop. I remember them all well and yearn for one of Ernie's water ices. Scrummy.
