Are Made of This
I was born in Windlesham down Broadley Green, 30th June 1973. I have memories that make me smile from ear to ear, playing in the corn fields, going to the jumble sales up Chertsey Rd Hall, playing man hunt up the rec. Fruit and veg man driving his grey van down our road, shortly after the ice cream van on a Sunday. My mum was born and bred in Windlesham, as were her mum and dad and so on, all buried now up the cementry. My grandad Mick Mcguinness came over from Ireland when he was 15 and worked as a cow man and pig farmer, up Bagses Farm. If he wasn't working, he was in the pub or bed.

He fought the authorities for compensation when the electricity pylons were constructed and then, later, when the M3 Motorway was put through his land. He became a nationally famous figure and put Windlesham on the map!
My Great Grandparents
Hello from Canada - My great-grandparents, James Elliott and Ann Collyer, were married in Windlesham on July 8th 1865. It is great to see the photos what with me being so far away. I was hoping there would be a photo of the church. They were C of E. Still it is wonderful to see photos of the town. Thank you.
Best regards.
Barbara
