Shared Memories of Sandhurst
 Sandhurst, Royal Military College 1901 (ref: 46823) |
Year: 1940s
grounds of the Royal Military Academy
While I was growing up in Sandhurst, the grounds of the College was open to the public and we could walk from the village of Sandhurst through to Camberley. This building with parade ground in front is famous for the white horse which always entered the building up the steps when the passing out parades had finished. In front of this building are beautiful grounds with a big lake which was often the place to have picnics in the summer, and in winter - if frozen - we would skate over it. Shame now due to security risks etc, that the grounds are closed to the general public. Such a shame - I am glad I have the memories still. Last edited: 21/10/2006 03:29 by Mary Back |

wedding day
St Michael's Church, where I was christened in 1940, I was married there in June 1960. A beautiful church set in the countryside just out of the village. Last edited: 10/01/2007 15:24 by Mary Back |

 Sandhurst, Post Office c1955 (ref: S56001) |
Year: 1955
childhood memories
This is the street where I was born in 1940, our house is just out of sight, but when I left school in 1955 I worked for a short while in the shop adjoining the post office. Sadly my father, who was in the Army, was posted to Colchester, Essex and so we left Sandhurst in June 1955. But it was a lovely place to grow up in and will always be home to me. I still have family living in the area. Last edited: 10/01/2007 15:24 by Mary Back |
