Middlesex memories
I am a Stanwellian but I have lived in Sussex for 40 years. My memories of the village are the large mansion in Oaks Road almost opposite the entrance to the recreation park, now sadly owned by the airport! I was born at 1 Hymans Cottage, Oaks Road, long since pulled down. There was a large mansion as you go oout... [more]

We had some very happy family picnics on Knowle Green. There was a small stream in which we used to play with our fishing nets and catch small fish and other water creatures. There were also plenty of wild flowers on the edge of the stream and dragon flies. There was also on the Green a herd of dairy cows brought... [more]

1954-1959, say?? Perhaps earlier too. This section of the River looks v. close to the area off the top of Thames or Bridge Street (?) known as The Staines "Lammas". A number of pools and play areas, with a swimming pool set into the River itself. Such a trek by 'bus to get there. I don't think anyone would do it... [more]

I have several photographs of the house on Magna Carta Island taken during the 1910s and early 1920s. The house was owned by my grandfather during this period, John Francis Mc Gregor (a stockbroker) who was married to my grandmother, Maidie Scott (her 'stage name', she was a music hall performer).
The photos are of my grandmother and my mother with... [more]

In about 1949 my family brought the fried fish shop at number 3 Station Approach, Ashford, Middlesex. I was about three years old at the time and my earliest memory is of driving my pedal car between the tables and chairs in the shop. My father had a secure job in the office with London Transport at Chiswick, so did... [more]

Extracts From Stanwell Moor & Middlesex books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Stanwell Moor, inspired by Frith photos.
Weybridge Town and City Memories
Although still labelled Dunton's, the ferry and boat-building business now belongs to the Davy family. Sailing dinghies were becoming popular, and sailing clubs were established on both sides of the river. The number of small cruisers moored on the opposite bank indicates the increasing use of motor boats for pleasure from this time onwards.

Weybridge Town and City Memories
This shows both sides of the river. The punt crossed the Thames to a slipway to the right of Dunton's boathouse, and the fare was 1d. Thence it was a short walk to Shepperton Lock, where one could watch the progress of craft up and down the Thames to Chertsey or Walton. The beach in the foreground seems to be a result of inadequate... [more]

Weybridge Town and City Memories
The Eyot (meaning island) is called after Richard D'Oyly Carte; he strengthened the banks of a small island in the River Thames below Shepperton Lock, and built this large house upon it in 1889. It was intended that the building would act as an annexe to the Savoy Hotel in London, which D'Oyly Carte owned; but no licence was granted, so the house came... [more]
