Chapel Lane, Milford

In 1944 a bomb dropped not too far from our home in East Barnet, Hertfordshire, so Mum and I went to stay with her Mum and Dad, Alice and Bill Tulett at 3 Chapel Lane, Milford (now No.10 I think) where Mum was born in 1907. Bill used to be the local baker and worked for a Mr E... [more]

Church Road shopping parade

This is Church Road, 200 yards north of the church, not Haslemere Road. The building on the left of the photo is now a club. In the 1950's we children used to call it "The Wobbly Man's Club".

Mousehill Green

This picture is of Mousehill Green, Milford. You haven't a title for the picture, so I thought I'd let you know. I remember it from 1953 onwards, but this picture obviously predates that.
The green was often used for fairgrounds. The shop by the road was the Delicatessen, now a craft shop I think, not sure though.

More Royalty at Milford

Further to Mr. Mike Taylor's story about being taken to see HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother passing through Milford on her way to King Edward's School at Witley. I was a pupil at King Edward's during the time of her visit, and whereas Mr. Taylor's story implies there may have been a number of visits by Her Majesty, I only... [more]

Royalty at Milford

In 1962 I was in Cledwyn Evan's class at the primary school. In the Summer terms Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother used to visit King Edward's School in Witley, and Mr. Evans led his class to the roundabout to see her go by. He was enthusiastically ragged about it by the other teachers!
We all stood just by the walnut tree... [more]

Surrey memories

1950 year of my birth in Witley

I was born in Sandhills, Witley in 1950. Witley is still a very picturesque village.

Sandhills

This is where I was born in 1950. I remember being pushed in my pram into Witley to the Post Office. Although I was only a baby I remember the peace of the area. It was a wonderful place to be born.

My Grandfather lived at Ivy Cottage

My Grandfather, Hubert Blackwell, lived in Ivy Cottage with his mother and father, Mr Henry Alfted Blackwell, he was born in 1897. I have just looked up his First World War war records and he states his address as Ivy Cottage, Peperharrow Road. I knew he lived in Godalming, but that was it. It is lovely to see a picture of...

Extracts From Milford & Surrey books

Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Milford, inspired by Frith photos.

Villages of Surrey Photographic Memories

Eric Parker was quite dismissive about Milford, describing it as 'less a village than a road', and having 'some pollarded elms and dusty jasmine'. He also believed that its future would belong to Godalming. He may be right on that point, yet some attractive buildings survive; this scene has hardly changed at all.

Godalming Town and City Memories

Three of Church Street's five pubs are in this photo - the Corn Meter extreme left, the Star centre left, and the Live and Let Live just beyond the archway on the right. The arch led to the rear of the Angel Hotel yard, owned at that time by John Jasper Taylor, who also had a temperance hotel, Deanery House, further down Church Street. ... [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.
