Shared Memories of Dorking
 Dorking, Deepdene House 1891 (ref: 29567) |
Year: 1957
Working for British Railway's southern region
My mother, Valerie Evans, worked for British Railways southern region from 1957 -1960 at Deepdene House. She was a shorthand typist and remembers Deepdene House to be a beautiful building with extensive grounds. She has happy memories of friends in the typing pool. The building hadn't changed much since 1891 although I don't believe there was a conservatory in 1957. During her lunch breaks she would play tennis, table tennis and netball or just sit out on the grass and enjoy the scenery. Last edited: 05/03/2007 03:11 by Sandra Finch |

 Dorking, Castle Mill c1960 (ref: D45159) |
Pepsi-Cola and Merry Legs
These two ponies belonged to Dorking Riding School and they were popular characters with gentle dispositions. They retired in 1963 to good homes. Pepsi-Cola is in the foreground. I was a groom at the stables and regularly rode them around the area. Posted: 08/12/2006 19:15 by Ann Hobley |
