I was born in Weston Green, my parents having lived at Maisonette, Weston Green. My grandfather Charles Dobson was the local baker and lived on the green in the house on its own called The Lodge which was where the cricket was played. I used to watch it from my grandmother's back yard. She had ducks and hens and used to... [more]

My uncle Lawrence married Peggy Smurthwaite in about 1935 and took over the Hinchley Wood Hotel. It was already well-known to him and his brother, Ellis, because he was a partner in the building firm E & L Berg which had developed an estate over the other side of the Kingston Bypass. Though he knew little or nothing of the licenced... [more]

My nan was the usherette at Molesey Picturehouse.She then became manager and stayed there until it was knocked down. This was next to Roberts radio. Does anybody remember her?

I'd be interested to know more about the Old Bakery on the High Street - I believe my great-grandfather, Arthur Brown, worked there at some point. The Brown family lived at 5 Rose Cottages, Station Road and also at 6 Foley Cottages, High Street (from at least the 1940s to 1961). I've found Rose Cottages, but I'm still trying to locate... [more]

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?

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... [more]

Extracts From Weston Green & Surrey books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Weston Green, inspired by Frith photos.
Villages of Surrey Photographic Memories
The village is in a pleasant spot on the road from Esher to Hampton Court. Some fine old cottages and a pond border the large green and common. On the extreme right, the inn sign of the Greyhound can be seen, while another pub around the corner is currently called Shoosh.

Weybridge Town and City Memories
Although still labelled Dunton's, the ferry and boat-building business now belongs to the Davy family. Sailing dinghies were becoming popular, and sailing clubs were established on both sides of the river. The number of small cruisers moored on the opposite bank indicates the increasing use of motor boats for pleasure from this time onwards.

Weybridge Town and City Memories
This shows both sides of the river. The punt crossed the Thames to a slipway to the right of Dunton's boathouse, and the fare was 1d. Thence it was a short walk to Shepperton Lock, where one could watch the progress of craft up and down the Thames to Chertsey or Walton. The beach in the foreground seems to be a result of inadequate... [more]
