Surrey memories
The Abbey Moor Park & the ghost of Jonathan Swift.
I went to Farnham art school in 1968-1971, and at that time, Moor Park was used as a conference centre, available for hire, and inclusive of staff and an elderly chaplain called Dr Bird. As you know, Moor Park was the first place Jonathan Swift worked at when he arrived in England, and he was secretary to Sir William Temple. We... [more]

I always remember stopping off for a paddle here on my way home from Frensham Junior school. I remember my nan used to give me my bus fare. But I used to prefer to walk along past the pond so I could stop for a quick paddle.

I remember walking to this post office many a time as I used to live with my nan etc. at Churt House Cottage. The post office was run by a lady of the name Mrs Heaps. I used to go there for the big bottles of Tizer.

My Great Grandfather Edwin Coombs
My great-grandfather had a pub named the Cricketers Inn in Wrecclesham Street, Wrecclesham, Farnham, Surrey. His name was Edwin Daniel George Coombs. His son Sidney William Coombs was a brewer's assistant on the 1901 Census. Later Sidney joined the Navy and was aboard HMS 'Vanguard' when it blew up on 09/07/1917. He is remembered on the War Memorial at Chatham, Kent.... [more]

Elmsleigh School/St Polycarp School
Born in Aldershot in 1939 my father worked for a builder in Farnborough, Chuter, and eventually moved to a rented house on Folly Hill. I initially went to St Polycarp but moved to Elmsleigh where both myself and my sister stayed for a few years. Wondered if there are any of the old pupils still in the Farnham. I was lucky... [more]

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... [more]

Villages of Surrey Photographic Memories
Two arms of the River Wey meet here, and an ancient bridge spans each arm. The bridges were almost certainly constructed by the monks of nearby Waverley Abbey, which was built in 1128. It was the first Cistercian abbey in England, and was dissolved in 1536. For years its stones were robbed for other buildings, but its ruins still give a glimpse of how... [more]

Godalming Town and City Memories
Three of Church Street's five pubs are in this photo - the Corn Meter extreme left, the Star centre left, and the Live and Let Live just beyond the archway on the right. The arch led to the rear of the Angel Hotel yard, owned at that time by John Jasper Taylor, who also had a temperance hotel, Deanery House, further down Church Street. ... [more]

Godalming Town and City Memories
In Edwardian days cyclists frequented Godalming, especially at weekends. There was a demand for teashops, and Church Street had three - one is on the left here. Also very popular was the sending of picture postcards, which served people much as the telephone does today - Eatons paper shop, on the left, claimed to have the largest selection.
