More about this scene

After the railway came to the nearby town of Dorking, and also Gomshall, in the 19th century, Holmbury became a desirable place to live. Woodland was cleared to make way for a number of homes beside the few cottages that were already here. A church, shops and a village club all followed.

I have virtually all these original post cards as shown on this site. After my grandfather (Harry Bullen), Holmbury Post Master, stopped publishing his own, he changed to Friths. My bedroom was in the western end of the P.O (see tiny window) overlooking the shed in the attached pic. This was an electrical shop in the 50's 60's run by Pat Overington. My father, Godfrey, was born in the house. More later if anyone interested .
