More about this scene

Here the Rivers Mole and Ember join and enter the Thames. Nearby is Molesey Lock. It is perfectly plain to see that pleasure boating and messing about on the river has long been a popular pastime. On the opposite side of the bank is Bushy Park, and in the distance we can see the graceful Hampton Court Bridge.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

During the Second World War I was in two boarding schools in (I believe East Mosely - certainly walking distance across the bridge to Hampton Court. I was 5-6 years old, so my memories are pretty hazy!!!!). I wonder if anyone can shed a light on these memories? Many thanks, regards, Eddie Greatrex
I lived and went to school in West Molesey. I remember the shops near the Royal Oak pub. My mum always took me into the shoe shop for my shoes. I remember going into the sweet shop on my way to school. Can anyone tell me the name of the local children's home in East Molesey? I remember going there often as 2 friends were living there from 1965 - 1975.
