My Home
I lived with my parents and brother, Ray, at the top of the High Street at 2, Grove Cottages, Leatherhead Road. I lived there until I married Jean Rumming from Hersham, Surrey in 1960. This used to be a public house later closed down by Mrs Christie. The Royal Oak public house is on the right. We both belonged to St. Nicholas Church choir at the bottom of the High Street. High Court Judge Tucker lived just beyond the Oak and employed a lady gardener. I was a resident constable, PC 745. Henry Williams lived on the Lower Road, towards Fetcham, PC549 and John Carr. PC574 lived on the Lower Road towards Preston Cross. His police house had a fully operational candle-stick telephone for his use.
My brother lives in Woodlands Road, Little Bookham.

Interesting what you find surfing the net. I was born in Little Bookham, Woodlands Road!! I of course know you Tony. I am Rosemary's cousin. I was looking for some info for my Granddaughter for a school project and came across your memories. David and I now live in Vancouver B.C.

My mother was from this town. Rose Alice Marston. She worked the the grocer/sweet shop in the early 40s where she met my father Roy Harry Watson Sopp, a Canadian soldier. They were married in the church on December 24, 1944.
