Lower Road
My parents were married in St Nicholas Church in 1960 - Valmai Daily (my mother) grew up at 234 Lower Road with her brother, Adrian and parents Dot and Drew. My Grandfather was a local electrician who spent all his free time at Effingham Golf Club and my grandmother (having retired from midwifery) was for many years the nurse at The School of Stitchery. I spent many of my early years in Great Bookham and then every school holiday when I went 'to work' with my Grandmother at The School of Stitchery and made many friends there. Names I can remember are Ellen & Ron Young (friends of my grandparents) and children I used to play with in the holidays were Phillip and Susie (also from Lower Road) and Michael and Jenny (I believe from Townsend Close?). The garden at 234 Lower Road used to be very long and narrow and after my Grandfather died the bottom half was sold off and I believe two bungalows were built there.
