My Memories of The Three Jays.
I lived in Oriental Road which is the road that runs down the side of the pub since I was born in 1977. I met my husband in the pub in 1998, he lived in a house opposite the Three Jays which I moved into and it became our family home. Unfortunately a fire in c1999 meant that it was demolished and in its place we now have 12 two bedroomed apartments.

Read and share memories of Sunninghill and Berkshire inspired by Frith photos.
Forgotten Children
My mother (Doris Daye) was married to a Canadian, Robert Lennox, at this church in January 1941. I was born in July. We lived at 8 The Terrace, Sunning Hill. Aparently he was AWOL and was sent back to Canada some 4 years later, but my mother stayed around. I was fostered into a family in Bracknell, never to see my mother again until 6 years ago, she is now 92 and living with my half sister. My mother had a sister, Maud, that married into the Cape family and had a brother called Bill, both now deceased. Their children that all came from Sunninghill are all alive and well. I live in New Zealand. I have a photo of the then preacher, and the names of two Sunninghill residents, L.M.Cape (Dec) and Boyce Crowdis Mason whom I have not located. Regards, Colin
The Good Life
I was born in 1926 at no 2 The Terrace. My dad was Taity Ponsford and I had 5 brothers and 2 sisters my sister Ida and Cis, who was killed in a motor cycle accident in 1933, at the time she was with Bill Murrant a local golf pro. My gran also lived on The Terrace, her husband was Shovel Stevens which I don't understand as my mother's maiden name was Platt. I moved away when I was 5 as Mum ran off with the lodger, Ted Craker, and I lived for many years as Ron Craker in Sandhust, Crowthorn, and Winkfield. I joined the Royal Navy in 1943 and saw the rest of the Second World War out. I finished my school days at Winkfield St Mary's where I made many great friends and would love to hear from any of them.
