I remember the restaurant at the United Dairies in Walton where I used to have lunch.

Saturday Morning

This is one of the picturehouses that we could choose from on a Saturday. Many a happy Saturday morning was spent here with lots of children, with not a lot of pocket money!

What fun was had by many children on a Saturday morning by going to the picture house. There were two in Walton so we were spoilt for choice. The ladies that looked after us all did a grand job. I was allowed to get the 218 bus from the barley mow bus stop. l felt really grown up - l could only have been 10 or 11.

Leggett And Halke.

Not really a memory but I wonder if anyone has any info on any of these names, Leggett and Halke. My grandad was Frank Halke and he married Hettie Leggett in 1903 in the Wesleyan chapel in Walton....I think the Leggett family were well known as vets in the area. Any info or memories would be fantastic.....my email is: donnamilee@yahoo.co.uk Thankyou.

Restaurant in Walton On Thames High Street

As a child we used to go to eat at a restaursant in Walton on Thames High Street, it was where Zio Toto's now is roughly, and in the 1960s it was United Dairies. I'm thinking it was maybe French or something along those lines and I am desperately searching for the name of it - can anyone can help?

Surrey memories

Molesey Road

Not many cars about, not like now.  What a wonderful happy place to live where everyone said 'Good morning', unlike now where everybody is too busy with life to take time out and smile.  All we do is moan about this and that, smile it will make a difference to everyone. Bring good old Hersham back to being a fun place to live.

One of my Favourite Fishing Spots

River Mole c1960

There used to be a bridge over the river here, but the bridge was blown up by the army around 1958. It was a fantastic sight and we rushed over to the river after the explosion to see all the dead fish.
