Memory Lane
In 1954 I was nine. I was born in New Malden in 1945, and went to school there. My family name is Arbuckle, and the New Malden police station had my great-grandfathers in their uniforms in pics on the wall, and I was on the film when they laid the stone foundations of the church on the corner of Westbury Road, because I remember seeing the film in New Malden library. My family have been in New Malden a long time. It was so nice to see the old pics as now I have come to Australia to live I can remember walking to school and getting the trams to the roundabout. If there is anyone who could tell me if I can get copies of the pics of my great grandfathers or of the film that would have been kept for the history of New Malden it would be great.
My name was Barbara Campbell Arbuckle, and is now Barbara Hudspeth. I live in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

If there is a museum I could try to get copies of any photos or film. But keep your memories of New Malden as it is now like a third world country.

Hi, is there anyone out there that can help me about getting any films from that time and when the church was built, it would be great.

Hi Barbara Arbuckle,
Are you related to Peter Arbuckle? I grew up in Motspur Park and New Malden (now live in New York City) and remember a Peter Arbuckle very well.

RE: RE: Memory Lane
Hi, yes I do remember a Peter - very tall and slim. On the Arbuckle's side they were a lot older than me as I was the baby on the Arbuckle side - I think he had two boys but I am not sure.
