Where Would This Have Been?
Where would this have been - any ideas? I don't remember a military hospital in Guildford?
Happy Days
My then boyfriend worked on Saturdays selling ice creams, I used to go up there to see him and sit in the sun looking at the stunning views.
The Bottom of Guildford High Street.
My great-grandmother, great-auntie and great cousion lived above the shops on the right hand side of the picture. They were told to move as they were going to knock them down. But if you walked down the road now you will see that they are still there! This would have been in the early 1930s. They moved to Walnut Tree Close and stayed there until my aunt died about 2000.
Fond Memories
I lived at West Horsley and Saturdays Mum would take me on the bus to Guildford, we would meet my aunt and shop at the market. They would then take me to Harveys and I would have a milkshake sitting on the roof garden. I have told my children about this, now I can show them a photo
Merrow Street School in The 1950
Does anyone remember my mum who worked at Merrow Street School in the 1950 when she was school secretary, Mrs Smith?
The First Annual Flower Show
In 1938 Wood Street village enjoyed their first Annual Flower Show .
My father, Arthur Stock was a driving force in promoting this event. he was later presented with a chiming clock inscribed "Presented to Mr. Arthur E. Stock, Hon Sec. Wood Street, Broad Street and District Horticultural Society, by the members in grateful recognition of the successful result of their first Annual Flower Show, largely due to his indefatigable energy. Sep.1st. 1938."
I have the clock today and it is still chiming and also have photographs of the event together with photographs of the activities of the Home Guard where my father was C.S.M.
I attended Wood Street school and later Guildford Technical College.
We lived in Broad Street, The white semi detached house in about the middle of the row.
My grandfather built the first houses on Fairlands Estate. I have a photo of him standing on the undeveloped land holding the plans.
Indoor Baths, Castle Street
I remember the old cottages alongside the castle and the wonderful indoor baths. I have often tried to find pictures of the baths (inside and out) but if anyone has any to share would love to see them.
