Year: 1910s
Gamekeeper's Cottage A memory of Compton, Surrey I do not know Compton but lived as a child next door to a lady who was daughter of the local gamekeeper. Her maiden name was Churchill, Hilda Churchill, with two sisters Mabel and Alice. I have a watercolour painting of her house at Compton done by H J Sage (a local artist) and would be happy to share this with anyone who may be interested. Also amongst her posessions was a Coronation mug for George V, 1911. She told me that one of these mugs was given to each child in the school and that after they were made, the mould was destroyed. I have this mug and it has her name written on its base. I would love to know more about her family in such an idyllic house, standing in a field surrounded by a picket fence. I have known this painting for 60 years and have always admired it. I would also like to know if any more of the Coronation mugs exist. Last edited: 28/07/2008 15:33 by Mike Cowham |

Year: 1959
The Dunn family and the Hancock family A memory of Hurtmore, Surrey My family moved to Hurtmore from Kent in 1959. From the first day I loved the place. We lived at no. 6 Quarry Road. Mr and Mrs Hancock lived a few houses away. I started school at Rodborough which was up Rodborough Hill on the Portsmouth road, an old army camp I believe. I was only there a few months as the new school opened in Milford. In the 1960s youth clubs were the "thing" and I attended quite a few, Shackleford being one, and Milford also. The bus sevice from Godalming was pretty good, I did however miss the last bus frequently which didn't bother me as I liked walking! The last part of the trip home was usually in pitch darkness as there were very few street lights. I knew the way so well and I was never frightened. It has been many years since I was in Hurtmore but I go there in spirit very often. My parents moved to Cornwall and I left for Canada. England will always be home to me and many times my parents would meet me at Heathrow and take me "home". Mr and Mrs Hancock would welcome me and my kids and we would have a wonderful time catching up on all the local gossip. If I could have my heart's desire it would be to return to those far off days when everything was 'perfect'. I was never bored. (Too bad, we can never go home again, can we...)

 Tongham, c1965 (ref: T57017) |
Year: 1974
All my growing years A memory of Tongham, Surrey I remember growing up in the village of Tongham, met my husband and still going strong. Prepared for many years of memories from school to moving, still visit occasionally, hasn't changed too much except for new builds. The cardinals remains virtually untouched. 1974-1988 Last edited: 30/07/2008 13:14 by Jacki Gatfield |

Tongham shops A memory of Tongham, Surrey I remember going into all these shops when I was a toddler. I loved watching the sugar and flour being taken from bags stood on the floor or counter. Everything was in sacks or bags and on display. It was so interesting going shopping back then taking our time in each shop catching up on the village news. What a lovely time to grow up in!

 Ash, The Greyhound 1932 (ref: 84981) |
Year: 1989
The Greyhound A memory of Ash, Surrey This used to be our local pub. Many a night spent throwing money at the jukebox and into the pool table. I was sprung for being 16 but still allowed to buy lager (cheers!!) LOL!! It's a chain pub now and has some kind of Big Steak restaurant attached. Such a shame.
