Surrey memories
My Great Grandfather Edwin Coombs
My great-grandfather had a pub named the Cricketers Inn in Wrecclesham Street, Wrecclesham, Farnham, Surrey. His name was Edwin Daniel George Coombs. His son Sidney William Coombs was a brewer's assistant on the 1901 Census. Later Sidney joined the Navy and was aboard HMS 'Vanguard' when it blew up on 09/07/1917. He is remembered on the War Memorial at Chatham, Kent. Alas I cannot find any information about the Cricketers Inn, it does not seem to exist any more. Any information would be much appreciated. Has anyone an old photo of the Cricketers Inn? Please. contact me if so, my e-mail address is patbutler10@btinternet.com
Thanking you,
Patricia.

The Abbey Moor Park & The Ghost of Jonathan Swift.
I went to Farnham art school in 1968-1971, and at that time, Moor Park was used as a conference centre, available for hire, and inclusive of staff and an elderly chaplain called Dr Bird. As you know, Moor Park was the first place Jonathan Swift worked at when he arrived in England, and he was secretary to Sir William Temple. We had a conference there over a period of days, and - as we were warned - something strange always happened at these events. Our one involved a sort of mass-hysteria which was amusingly disruptive. We all blamed Dean Swift for these events afterwards.
The whole area encompassing Waverley Abbey, Stella's Cottage, Mother Ludlam's Hole, Father Foote's Hole and Moor Park is extraordinary, and I have written a fictional book (www.tjstephenson.com) It is (imaginatively) titled 'Waverley Abbey' by Thomas J Stephenson. I have had some communication from the nice people who run the Constance Spry centre at Moor Park, and they seem to have been good custodians of the... Read more

I think this is Cumpsteys Corner where the hairdresses and butchers is. God, it's changed.
Lodge Pond The Making of
Does anyone know the history of Lodge Pond, my family were Brickmakers and had a brick kiln nearby, we think the pond was created by them digging the clay. I would love to have any opinions.
Post Office
I remember walking to this post office many a time as I used to live with my nan etc. at Churt House Cottage. The post office was run by a lady of the name Mrs Heaps. I used to go there for the big bottles of Tizer.
Good Times
I always remember stopping off for a paddle here on my way home from Frensham Junior school. I remember my nan used to give me my bus fare. But I used to prefer to walk along past the pond so I could stop for a quick paddle.
