More Royalty at Milford
Further to Mr. Mike Taylor's story about being taken to see HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother passing through Milford on her way to King Edward's School at Witley. I was a pupil at King Edward's during the time of her visit, and whereas Mr. Taylor's story implies there may have been a number of visits by Her Majesty, I only recall the one, which I believe to have been in 1956. Mr. Gordon Humphries MA was the Headmaster at the time, and it was the only occasion upon which we pupils had seen him at all flustered. HM had lunch with us in the dining hall, and the two things that stick in my mind about the day was meeting ...read more here

Chapel Lane, Milford
In 1944 a bomb dropped not too far from our home in East Barnet, Hertfordshire, so Mum and I went to stay with her Mum and Dad, Alice and Bill Tulett at 3 Chapel Lane, Milford (now No.10 I think) where Mum was born in 1907. Bill used to be the local baker and worked for a Mr E A Fullbrook but was retired by then as he would have been 78 in 1945. Next door lived Mrs Collins, the other side I think were called Elliott and further down the lane lived a Mrs Popple, a name which I thought quite strange at the time.I remember the landgirls working on Secretts farm which was on the other side ...read more here

Royalty at Milford
In 1962 I was in Cledwyn Evan's class at the primary school. In the Summer terms Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother used to visit King Edward's School in Witley, and Mr. Evans led his class to the roundabout to see her go by. He was enthusiastically ragged about it by the other teachers!
We all stood just by the walnut tree on the left of the picture. We waited, but not for long. The Rolls-Royce came whispering up to the roundabout and sailed past us. Then I saw the Queen Mum lean forward to tell her driver to pull up, and he reversed the car back to us. Mr. Evans gulped, she waved and smiled at us through the window, then ...read more here

Church Road shopping parade
This is Church Road, 200 yards north of the church, not Haslemere Road. The building on the left of the photo is now a club. In the 1950's we children used to call it "The Wobbly Man's Club".

Extracts From Eashing & Surrey books
This is another one of the
ancient bridges that span
these reaches of the River
Wey. There are six in total:
this one, two at Tilford,
and one each at Elstead,
Peper Harow and Unstead.
In 1902, the bridge and the
cottages on the right were
bought by the National
Trust for just £400.

Three of Church Street’s five pubs are in this photo - the Corn Meter extreme left, the Star
centre left, and the Live and Let Live just beyond the archway on the right. The arch led to
the rear of the Angel Hotel yard, owned at that time by John Jasper Taylor, who also had a
temperance hotel, Deanery House, further down Church Street.
An extract from from"Godalming Town and City Memories".
In Edwardian days cyclists frequented Godalming, especially at weekends. There was a demand
for teashops, and Church Street had three - one is on the left here. Also very popular was the
sending of picture postcards, which served people much as the telephone does today - Eatons
paper shop, on the left, claimed to have the largest selection.
An extract from from"Godalming Town and City Memories".
During the coaching era the need to re-shoe horses must have
made the blacksmith essential. The forge in Godalming was
situated very centrally, in Pound Lane, where Record Corner is
now. In the 1860s the smith added to his business by opening a
beerhouse, appropriately named the Three Horseshoes, next to the
forge. Also nearby was a whitesmith, Mr H Lewer who was also a
gasfitter and electrician.

One suspects that Frith’s photos of the river shown on these pages may have been
commissioned by Mr Leroy to sell to his customers - he appears in this one too, in a
Canadian canoe, fashionable at the time. The camping ground was just to the east of the
boathouse. Though camping was already enjoyed, Baden-Powell’s book ‘Scouting for boys’
was published in the same year, and may have increased its popularity.
