From 1962 to 1966 I worked in the drawing office of Horsham Urban District Council. This was in the first floor extension to the right of the picture. This was my first job and my boss was Deputy Engineer and Surveyor, John Sheldon, and the big chief was John Ridd, Engineer and Surveyor. I used to park my motor-scooter in the stable block at the rear of the building. A source of amusement was to launch paper planes down to the school girls who used to sit on the park benches below!

At that time the Ridd's lived just round the corner from us, in Greenway, and their daughter, Susan, was at school with us!
