Ripley Court School c1965
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

Our family lived in the village of  West Horsley all of my life,  I was born in 51, my sister in 49 and my youngest sister 56. We used to bike down to Ripley and Ockham. I went to school at Sir Walter Raleigh, and Howard of Effingham. Mum sadly died in 97, dad moved to Gosport and died 2002, and our house which we had an extension built on, games room and bathroom above garage and utility, was split back into two, and the extension made into a one bed residence that sold for 245.000 amazing!!!!  Very fond memories of walking down to the football field and collecting logs for bonfire night, and playing over the fields, up the farm and in the hay barn, ah what fun, the barley mow, the twitten, and blackberries.....ah  Loraine nee Soal

RE: RE: Just Down The Road From us

I lived in West Horsley for about 4 years during the early war years. My parents lived at Round Tree Farm Cottages, I can't remember the farm owner's name. I am still wondering if the farm is continuing, perhaps someone can tell me. Pam, nee Thompson.
