Surrey memories
Wounded World War One Soldiers?
I'm pretty sure my great grandfather Hubert John Cavell, was brought here after becoming wounded in Ypres, in Belgium. He died on 22/04/1917. Does anybody have any information? I know that the Queen Alexandra nurses trained there.
My Local Pond
I loved going fishing with my father there, real fun times.
We Knew This as Four Wents Pond!
We lived at Henfold a couple of miles from here, I used to be a pain in the neck to my older brother who used to come & fish at this pond. I caught my first "Red throat minnow" here. In the winter when it iced over we skated, played ice hockey & someone even drove a mini on the ice!
I rode my pony often around the pond to access the Common & head off towards Leith Hill via Holmwood. I remember it being dredged & cleaned but not the year. It became a local beauty spot for all sorts of activities!!!
Four Ways Pond
The name of the pond is Four Ways Pond. My family have lived around Holmewood for centuries. There are indeed four ways leading from the pond, hence the name, simple really.
