More about this scene

The service road alongside The Parade has now been incorporated into the busy A217, looking south towards today`s traffic lights at the junction with Reigate Road. The old house at the end of the parade housing Holmes & Co butcher`s (established 1824) was demolished for road widening. A laundrette has replaced the cycle shop and Pressley Wilkins is now shared by a television repair shop and a hairdresser`s.

I remember the doctors and going to see Dr Wade. There was a wooden seat that went round the wall of the waiting room, my legs would just dangle. If memory serves me well, I'm sure there was a farm behind the shops where as kids we earnt money potato picking.
