Some years ago I gave my mother a book of Old Weybridge photos for Mothering Sunday as this is where she was brought up.
Imagine her surprise, on seeing this picture of Queens Road in Weybridge, to realise that the two people on the far right were her mother and younger sister, Edith & Lesley Johnson. She recognised her... [more]

I remember this picture very well. Just down the road from Woolworths by the white car, was a Launderette (maybe it's still there). This Launderette was the first one ever introduced to the UK from America in 1959. As we had no washing machine or dryer, this place certainly changed our lives. I can remember one day I was with my... [more]

Surrey memories
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... [more]

My mum, Irene White, worked in Jarmans on Station Road - just where it joins Crouch Oak Lane. It was probably in the very early 1940s before she joined the WAAFs.
She told the story that her boss said you can eat as many sweets as you like, assuming that most people would get fed up with them pretty... [more]

I couldn't believe when I came across this picture. In 1950 I was born just above the shop (the first blind on the left). The shop was Reliant Shoe Repairs owned by my late father Arthur Piggott who was very well known in Addlestone. The single story building next to it was Mrs Martins Cafe, and me and my brother Bernard... [more]

Hi Rosemary,
Once again I found you very heplful, you sent me info on Princess Mary Homes. I followed it up and found them very helpful, only trouble is other people on same page (not covered by freedom of information) will have to wait for another couple of years until the next census to find out where she went when leaving...

I have many memories of Addlestone having lived there from 1940 to 1964. My family lived in Bourneside Road, at the far end was Coxes Lock Mill and the mill pond. We knew almost everybody that lived on Bois Hall estate. I attended St. Augustines Infant School and then St. Pauls Girls School. There were lots of factories in and around... [more]

The bus ride into Addlestone from New Haw took about 15 minutes. We were taken on a regular basis either to see our Grandparents who lived in Byron Road or shop at the Co-op, which took up a large part of the High Street. In order for us to be kitted out with clothes and shoes mum would have taken out... [more]

Weybridge Town and City Memories
These pillars are situated about halfway between the Thames and the town. They were originally part of the Portmore Park estate, which belonged to the Duke of Norfolk in the 17th century. By the 19th century the mansion was in ruins, and the estate was bought by Peter Locke King in 1861. The pillars were acquired by a Mr Ward, who bought Clinton... [more]

Weybridge Town and City Memories
The Eyot (meaning island) is called after Richard D'Oyly Carte; he strengthened the banks of a small island in the River Thames below Shepperton Lock, and built this large house upon it in 1889. It was intended that the building would act as an annexe to the Savoy Hotel in London, which D'Oyly Carte owned; but no licence was granted, so the house came... [more]

Weybridge Town and City Memories
This is typical of the rural river scenes at Weybridge at the turn of the century, before the First World War. Large houses had access to the river, and often had their own picturesque boathouses. The one in this picture is particularly attractive with its thatched roofs and boat moored underneath.
