Elmwood School

I went to school at Elmwood 1949-51.
I remember a beautiful girl there named Gillian English - I always wondered what became her.
The Grange - the boating lake - and Beddington Park were my favourite haunts.

My mother, who had lived in Hackbridge at 39 London Rd. before her marriage, with her parents, Frances and Nick McRae, had... [more]

Hackbridge

I lived in Orchard Avenue, number 4, when the whole road was mock Tudor exteriors. I had quite a shock to revisit a few years ago to see them all plastered over and looking very tired.  In the l950s and early 1960s when I lived here we had a red phone box and blue police box at the top of the...

Sutton Photographic Memories

Here the photographer looks north from the southern part of The Triangle. The Hackbridge Road junction is on the left, and the tree, now gone, is in the waste ground between Hackbridge Junior School and the road. The shopping parade on the right is in a competent neo-Georgian style, with box sash windows and a brick dentilled cornice to the parapet, and a centrepiece... [more]

Around Cheam, including Sutton, Ewell, Banstead and Epsom Photographic Memories

Nestled in the rear slopes of the North Downs, the village derives its ancient name from the Saxon word 'wudmeresthorn', meaning 'thornbush by the boundary of the wood', and was mentioned in the Domesday Book. This 1930s mock-Tudor shopping parade still stands on Rectory Lane as it winds its way south to the junction with the Chipstead Valley Road, where the... [more]

Around Cheam, including Sutton, Ewell, Banstead and Epsom Photographic Memories

Much of Banstead High Street was rebuilt during the 1920s with a series of shopping parades. The leafless lime tree in the middle distance occupies the spot where the village pond once existed, while All Saints' churchyard is concealed behind the trees on the extreme right.
