First Job
I started my first job at 16 as a trainee food and wine waiter at the Percy Arms in 1960, and I lived in rooms above the hotel, in those days it was a first class restaurant. The head waiter was a guy called Bernard. The owner was a lady and she used to have dogs that would wander around the restaurant. I visited the hotel in 1987 and the hotel had change to a more casual fast food restaurant.
I moved to Sydney, Australia in 1967, and went into the marine business as a boat dealer, married with 3 girls.

Eastwood Road Bramley and my family
My family have been in Eastwood Road Bramley for almost 100 years and some are still there. I grew up in Eastwood road; most of my family have lived there. My Great Great Grandmother,my Great Grand Mother and my Grandmother and my two great Aunts lived in the house on the corner of the picture (73) and that is my two Great Aunts Hilda and Nelly in the picture with (I think) their friend May. Auntie Hilda lived there untill 2006. The house on the other side of the road (No 48) that you can just see in the picture is where my Mother and her brothers and sisters were born. My Auntie and Uncle live next door still and my ...read more here

Extracts From Shalford & Surrey books
The ‘shallow ford’ owes its name to the Tillingbourne Stream that flows just beyond St Mary’s Church (right), built in 1847,
and then into the River Wey. A war memorial has been added since this photograph was taken. Today, traffic thunders
along this road.
An extract from from"Villages of Surrey Photographic Memories".
Ladies – with parasols – take their ease whilst the gentleman punts them along the river Wey. This view is upstream of St Catherine’s Lock.
An extract from from"Canals and Waterways".
Two ladies - with parasols - take their ease whilst the gentleman punts them along the river Wey. The party in the bottom left-hand corner seem to have abandoned their boat for a rest on the bank. This view is upstream of St Catherine’s Lock.
An extract from from"Canals and Waterways".
The village sign was
erected in 1922 and depicts
St Christopher, the patron
saint of travellers, and a
small child, traditionally,
the infant Jesus, crossing a
ford. The village was soon to
become quite industrialised
with the Vulcanised Fibre
Works at nearby Broadford
and also the engineering
firm Nelco, in Station
Road. Both are long gone,
although smaller firms and
businesses occupy those
same sites today.
An extract from from"Villages of Surrey Photographic Memories".
Our third tour starts in Shalford, in effect a suburb of Guildford on the east side
of the River Wey where the Tillingbourne meets it. The church and the old core
of the village are further north, but this view is along King’s Road with the
common to the right of the rider. The post office survives here, with the garage
converted to be part of it, while the rather fine late Victorian butcher’s shopfront
to the right has now been rebuilt as Wing Hung Chinese restaurant.
