Memories of Surrey
WORK
WORKED AT KING EDWARDS SCHOOL FOR TEN YEARS IN THE 1960'S
GREAT YEARS
I Lived Here
I lived in the second cottage in from about 1984-1990 when both my parents worked at King Edward's School, my mum as a nurse in the San and my dad as a plumber in the boiler houses. I had an idyllic childhood here and used to play in the woods opposite and climb trees in the fields behind. Is the school tuck shop still through the snicket behind the house? Is the pond my dad and brother dug still in the garden? Do you still get cob nuts and gooseberries from the trees in the back garden? I loved living here!
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.
1950 Year of my Birth in Witley
I was born in Sandhills, Witley in 1950. Witley is still a very picturesque village.
