Shared Memories of Ripley
 Ripley, Ripley Court School c1965 (ref: R36079) |
Year: 1960
just down the road from us
Our family lived in the village of West Horsley all of my life, I was born in 51, my sister in 49 and my youngest sister 56. We used to bike down to Ripley and Ockham. I went to school at Sir Walter Raleigh, and Howard of Effingham. Mum sadly died in 97, dad moved to Gosport and died 2002, and our house which we had an extension built on, games room and bathroom above garage and utility, was split back into two, and the extension made into a one bed residence that sold for 245.000 amazing!!!! Very fond memories of walking down to the football field and collecting logs for bonfire night, and playing over the fields, up the farm and in the hay barn, ah what fun, the barley mow, the twitten, and blackberries.....ah Loraine nee Soal Last edited: 26/02/2008 09:24 by Loraine Roles |

Ripley, Ripley Court School c1965 (ref: R36079) |
Year: 1942
School-Maternity Home-School
During WW2 the pupils were evacuated and the school turned into a temporary Maternity Home. The Doctor attending the home was only part-time, but always on call. The Doctor lived a few houses away and at night time he hung a length of string from a bell next to his bed and out of his bedroom window. So a nurse could run to his house to raise him if he was needed. Such was the case at 2:30am on the 10th of June 1942. I was born shortly thereafter. John E. Hutt, now living in Lewiston, NY, USA.
