Portsmouth Road c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I used to live in Little Cedars Cottage, Long Ditton with my mum and dad, my dad was the accountant at Gazes Building Society and was provided this house to live in from about 1954 - 1956. Windmill Lane was just around the corner - it was a dirt road with some houses and a recreation ground - I remember on Guy Fawkes Day we used to build a bonfire on Windmill Lane and let off fireworks - I was about 11 and I remember it as great fun. I have been living in Canada since 1965. I don't think Little Cedars cottage is still there, one day I would like to go and explore Long Ditton and Thmaes Ditton again.
