The Dunn family and the Hancock family
My family moved to Hurtmore from Kent in 1959. From the first day I loved the place. We lived at no. 6 Quarry Road. Mr and Mrs Hancock lived a few houses away. I started school at Rodborough which was up Rodborough Hill on the Portsmouth road, an old army camp I believe. I was only there a few months as... [more]

Godalming Town and City Memories
In Edwardian days cyclists frequented Godalming, especially at weekends. There was a demand for teashops, and Church Street had three - one is on the left here. Also very popular was the sending of picture postcards, which served people much as the telephone does today - Eatons paper shop, on the left, claimed to have the largest selection.

Godalming Town and City Memories
During the coaching era the need to re-shoe horses must have made the blacksmith essential. The forge in Godalming was situated very centrally, in Pound Lane, where Record Corner is now. In the 1860s the smith added to his business by opening a beerhouse, appropriately named the Three Horseshoes, next to the forge. Also nearby was a whitesmith, Mr H Lewer who was also a gasfitter and... [more]
