Upper Hale Junior School
I was a pupil of Upper Hale Junior School from 1969 to 1971 when I transferred to Heathend Comprehensive. When I was there the Head Mistress was a Miss Carter and my teacher was Mr Macknight, a very talented Artist who taught me and others to draw. Mr Macknight also held unusual classes of of what would be termed E.S.P: he would send a pupil into the adjoining cloakroom with a pen and paper, draw a very simple picture on a 'rolling' blackboard and get all the other children to concentrate on the picture or symbol and try to "send it" to the child in the cloakroom! I'm not sure this would be allowed with children so young as 9 and ...read more here

St Christopher School
Hi my name is Noreen and I lived in Farnham for quite a few years. I was actually born in Ash. As you go past the library, from the town centre, there used to be a private school called St Christopher, where I worked for a good few years. I started as washer up but progressed to main chef. Sadly the school closed in 1999. I had many happy memories of Farnham and working there.

Farnham
My great aunt Carrie (Wills) was born in Farnham and lived at No1 Bratton Villas all her life. Her father worked as a carriage upholsterer and all the children were born in the house, which was a small 2/3 bedroomed terrace. When I was a child we always visited to watch the airshow. She had a range and a scullery and an outside toilet, and also a tin bath that hung on the outside wall. The front room was only used to weddings funerals etc. During the 1970s the council built a car park in front of her house, which I am assuming is the Wagon Yard Car Park. As a child we used to walk along past a big house ...read more here

Extracts From Upper Hale & Surrey books
This view was taken in the middle of the village, and is looking down Updown
Hill. The shop just behind the lady, on the right, was that of S Workman, who
sold fancy goods; it is now an estate agents. We have now completed our look
around Camberley, and by taking the road back to the London Road, we can
return to Camberley itself, and our starting point.
An extract from from"Camberley Pocket Album".
The bakery of Mr Christmas stands at the junction of Kennel Lane
and Church Road, to the right. The shop on the right is that of
Boyce the fishmongers. If we take the road to the left we come to
our last picture.
An extract from from"Camberley Pocket Album".
This is now called Kennel Lane, and the
building is that of the Windlesham Institute.
The road to the right is Hatton Hill Road,
and leads to the London Road.
An extract from from"Camberley Pocket Album".
Turning right into School Lane, we find the old Village School
on the left, which opened in about 1814, and is now known as
Windlesham First School. The lane leads to Windlesham village.
An extract from from"Camberley Pocket Album".
We are in London Road, with a mixture of transport passing, right
by The Cricketer’s Inn, which has now had some extensions added.
It was an extremely popular inn, especially during Royal Ascot
Week, when it would be full.
