 Ranmore Common, the Post Office c1955 (ref: R358007) |
Take a horse to water A memory of Ranmore Common, Surrey When I was about 11 or 12 in the 50's I used to ride from Bookham over to Ranmore quite often. I would take a packed lunch in a rucksack and off I would go for the day all on my own. When I got to Ranmore, I used to tie my pony to a tree and go in the post office and ask the man for a bucket of water for my pony. Then we would stop on the edge of the woods somewhere, I'd sit on a log or on my jumper or coat on the ground and let my pony graze whilst I ate my lunch and read a book.

 Abinger Common, 1924 (ref: 75447) |
Lightning strike A memory of Abinger, Surrey Since this photo was taken the top of the large tree in the background has been hit by lightning. Around four or five feet of bare wood sticks out at the top of the tree. I don’t know when this happened. Posted: 09/11/2006 16:21 by Edward Ewan |

 Abinger Hammer, Post Office 1936 (ref: 87270) |
Year: 1986
childhood A memory of Abinger Hammer, Surrey i was born in guildford in 1986 and my parents had just taken over abinger post office and stores this is the house in the middle of the photo with all the ivy (that wasnt there in my time) the window above the shop was my parents room the spare room and the lounge are the rooms to the left. i loved living here and have many great memories of going to abinger village school, fishing in the stream, playing on the green and in the ruffs going to the abinger arms(probably the 1st pub i ever went to) and the tea rooms at the clock house now apparently i have heard that these tea rooms have moved to my old front room and front garden! i also remember the teddy bears picnic and the teacher who made me wear a bear mask one year, playing pooh stcks in the stream, pony rides on the front part of the green. i remember bonfires either at the cricket club or holmbury st mary or brockham i remember going to gordon peters farm and playing 40 40 it in bales of hay , i remember playing it in the cornfields at the end of the dene where my friends lived. The fact that the school is still going is a testament to what a great and unique place this is sadly we moved to croydon in 1995 and havent been back very much since then but one day i will move back there Posted: 28/12/2007 18:05 by Paul Jeacock |

 East Horsley, the Towers 1932 (ref: 85089) |
Year: 1930s
my early years A memory of East Horsley, Surrey I was born in Sheepwash cottage in 1926 the year Tommy Sopwith left the Towers and it was turned into a girls colledge by Miss Maule and Miss Isaceson . My father had worked for Tommy Sopwith for many years at the Towers and he stayed on as estate foreman. We moved into the cottage horsley towers as most of the old estate was sold to the developers. The old back enterance became the front enterance, everything had to go through the tunnel under the gardens. We moved away when the school closed down, that was in 1935 I think.

 Great Bookham, High Street c1955 (ref: G51034) |
Year: 1960
Lower Road A memory of Great Bookham, Surrey My parents were married in St Nicholas Church in 1960 - Valmai Daily (my mother) grew up at 234 Lower Road with her brother, Adrian and parents Dot and Drew. My Grandfather was a local electrician who spent all his free time at Effingham Golf Club and my grandmother (having retired from midwifery) was for many years the nurse at The School of Stitchery. I spent many of my early years in Great Bookham and then every school holiday when I went 'to work' with my Grandmother at The School of Stitchery and made many friends there. Names I can remember are Ellen & Ron Young (friends of my grandparents) and children I used to play with in the holidays were Phillip and Susie (also from Lower Road) and Michael and Jenny (I believe from Townsend Close?). The garden at 234 Lower Road used to be very long and narrow and after my Grandfather died the bottom half was sold off and I believe two bungalows were built there.
