Headmistress at Nutfield C of E Primary

I visited Nutfield when I was 4 or 5 with my granny Lillian Curry - who was headmistress (a grand term for the head teacher of a 2 room school) of Nutfield C of E. She must have been appointed in the late 1930s and worked there for 20 years - through the war - and retired in the mid 1950s.... [more]

Did Ted Hart ever buy you a drink?

The watering hole for any Monotype apprentices after working overtime on a Saturday morning. Seemed like I spent a good deal of my time in this establishment in those days. I'm 57 now and living in Devon. Would love to hear from anyone who remembers this great pub.

Surrey memories

Childhood

Looking at the pictures takes me back to my childhood, having lived in the village for 20 years. My home was at the end of this slip road behind the large hedge. I remember walking down to the bakers and to Taylor and Bristows, to me was like an Aladdin's cave, and then on to the butcher for steak for my... [more]

Selmes Butchers

I remember being sent to Selmes the Butchers to buy my Mother Mrs Dora Maynard, cuts of meat. The floor was covered in sawdust and there was a little cashiers office at the end of the counter. It always had a very friendly atmosphere although I used to cry when I saw the animals being unloaded from the lorries... [more]

Redhill swimming baths and town

Does anyone remember the old swimming baths at Redhill? I started swimming there in the 1970s when it was still a Victorian building. The steps in the pool were of stone and the changing rooms were around the poolsides with wooden doors. You could pay to have a slipper bath! There was a young lady who gave you a box to... [more]

Redhill 1961

I remember the Teddy Boys and 'winkle pickers'. Our baby-sitter used to rock and roll in the living room, and us kids used to laugh because we could see her underwear when her flared skirt twirled! She used to paint our nails for us with pink varnish, and lacquer our hair with squeezy bottle Rosedale Hairspray which only cost a... [more]

Extracts From Nutfield & Surrey books

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

Villages of Surrey Photographic Memories

Eric Parker described this pub as an old posting inn with the remains of what was once a spacious parlour, solid with oak beams big enough for a belfry, warmed by a broad open fireplace and offering the hospitality of two great chimney seats. The Reigate brewery of Mellersh & Neale was taken over by Meux's Brewery in 1938.

Southern England

Girls pose with shrimping nets outside the Swan Hotel, with its boats for hire. The coal lighters are discharging coal at the Old Town Wharf. The Swan still exists, with its broad slipway, though today there are no such elegant rowing boats for hire. below: NUTFIELD

Villages of Surrey Photographic Memories

That useful commodity fuller's earth, a non-plastic clay that has been used for centuries to clean woven woollen cloth, and more recently in the refinement of lubricating oil, was dug in and around Nutfield for hundreds of years. Some of the buildings in the village are built from a grey stone quarried from the fuller's earth pits.
