Schooldays And Teens.
Lowfield Heath School. 21 pupils. Head Teacher, Miss Ryde, and assistant Miss Ivy Walder. Miss Walder later married Bob Riley. Where are some other pupils now? I remember Margaret Dudman, David Slaughter, Barbara Banks, Brenda Cheal. Later on the Old Tyme dances at the W.I. hut. Has anyone got old photos of those? Further south on the A23 the Ventura Cafe, and of course the Blue Pencil Cafe. I could go on, but some of you must be out there with some photos. Unfortunately photos taken by Surrey Mirror newspaper of those times 1945-1956 were destroyed in the fire at Ladbrook Road office, Redhill. I didn't own a camera then, but now realise how the memories could have been stored. Tony Tester.
Hyders Bungalow Charlwood Road
Trying to find information about Hyders bungalow, Dorothy & Charles lived there in the early 1940's.
Any information would be extremely grateful.

Mayfield Farm/House, Is Now The Flight Tavern
Has anybody any history of Mayfield Farm/house around 1935, like who owned it, and what type of farm it was, I have since found out that my Dad's sister [Joan] drowned in the fishpond when she was 18 months old, My Dad's[George] Dad also [George Addy] was a farm hand there with his wife Doris, who lived in The lodge on Mayfield farm, they moved from Woodchurch in Kent. Any whiff of anything would help.
Memories of West Sussex
Barmaid
I worked as a barmaid in the Fox when Three Bridges had the bad flood and the pub was flooded, it was an old fashioned pub in those days with a public bar and saloon bar with darts on a Friday night, good old fashioned fun.
The Fox
My parents managed the Fox for most of the 1950' and '60's. My love of railways came from the Loco crew who drank there and gave me (unofficial) footplate rides!
Barkers
When I was a kid I had to walk from Pound Hill to Barkers every Saturday morning to fetch a gallon of Blucole paraffin for my dad. Barkers was the local garage/taxl rank. We lived in Pearson Road and then moved to Mill Road, Three Bridges around 1960.
You can imagine 8 year old kids nowadays walking the best part of a mile there and back on their own actually out in the fresh air with no hand held gaming device to keep them happy.
Three Bridges/Pound Hill
I lived at Cornerstones which was built for me in 1963/4, this is on Milton Mount Avenue. Both my sisters went to the Convent and then Milton Mount College.
I used to fish in the lakes at Milton Mount with my Uncle in 1950/4.
The Fox
The Fox was demolished in the 1990s and replaced by a modern pub a bit further back from the main road, now called The Snooty Fox I think.
