Molesey Pictures
My nan was the usherette at Molesey Picturehouse.She then became manager and stayed there until it was knocked down. This was next to Roberts radio. Does anybody remember her?
Feltham Avenue Near Hampton Court Bridge
I cannot be certain but I have vague recollections that there was an iron arch with gates in this road. It could be from my imagination but I often have flashbacks about cycling with friends to Feltham Avenue and cycling through the gates. Does anyone know if this arch was in this road or was it a dream?
Lawrence Family in East Molesey
On a holiday from Australia, today my husband and I visited East Molesey & Hampton Court.
My mother's paternal family were the Lawrence's - Edward was a master butcher and had a shop in 156 Walton Road (now a carpet shop) and their residential address in 1916 was 61 Walton Road. Edward's brother James also worked with him. Edward was my great grandfather.
A cousin John Lawrence owned 2 properties at 12 River Bank where he lived in the 1900's. He was born in 1914 and died sometime after 1985. He owned three antique shops in Bridge Road and had a stall at Portobello Road Markets. He was an artist/painter and grew native plants on a community plot that were used in his magnificent dried flower arrangements that often were found in the antique shop windows.

Feltham Avenue, East Molesey, Surrey
I remember Feltham Avenue very well, I grew up there with my younger brothers. I remember playing on the avenue with the other children that lived there, my brother and his friend "borrowing" garden gnomes from elderly residents . The miners strike, we all went to each others houses to tell spooky tales by candle light, the flooded River Thames just reaching the end of the road, parties, pet shows to raise money for the Puffin Club, drama group and Mr Bexham dressing up as Father Christmas.
My Life on Weston Green
I was born in Weston Green, my parents having lived at Maisonette, Weston Green. My grandfather Charles Dobson was the local baker and lived on the green in the house on its own called The Lodge which was where the cricket was played. I used to watch it from my grandmother's back yard. She had ducks and hens and used to hire out horses to people, but I was not born at that time, I only remember the ducks etc. My great-grandfather built all of the Jubilee Villas on Weston Green Road opposite the cricket pitch. The bake-house was on the other side of the road and my grandfather's sister used to run the Greyhound pub with her husband, Frank Walthew.
Wilton Gardens, West Molesey
I lived and went to school in West Molesey. I remember the shops near the Royal Oak pub. My mum always took me into the shoe shop for my shoes. I remember going into the sweet shop on my way to school. Can anyone tell me the name of the local children's home in East Molesey? I remember going there often as 2 friends were living there from 1965 - 1975.
West Molesey in The 1960s
Can anyone remember the shops opposite St Peter's Church, West Molesey or did you work in them? To name a few: Mitchells greengrocer, Tesco the Modern Grocer, Marchall H Dixon, butcher, Stevens newsagent, Regent Fisheries, next to the Royal Oak pub, Millers Confectioner. It would be interesting to hear from you. I worked at and managed Tesco in the 1960s or perhaps you may remember the vicar, Father John Yeend, it would be good to hear from you.
