My gran owned the pub at Blackheath which was called the Forest King, it was on the edge of the cricket pitch. There was also another pub called the Volunteer on the next road. Does anybody remember them?

My Nan and Grandad often took myself and my twin sister to visit his mother and brother to BlackHeat, Lamb Lane, to their Local Shop. Wow, sweets galore! Lovely smelling cooked meats, it was great! I always remember the walk from the statino near some playing fields, then walking into the shop and seeing my Great Grandmother standing there with her big smile and her pinny. I don't think it's there anymore. My Great Grandmother lived on to be 104 - must have been all that lovely food! We visited in 1959/1969. - Mag.

Extracts From Wonersh & Surrey books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Wonersh, inspired by Frith photos.
Surrey Revisited Photographic Memories
The name of the 16th-century half-timbered Grantley Arms in the centre of the village reflects the former dominance of the family whose seat was at nearby Wonersh Park. The first Baron Grantley was the Speaker of the House of Commons from 1769 to 1782, but his grandson George created a much greater stir when he kidnapped his own children and held them at the family home. His wife Caroline embarked on a bitter struggle to regain them, leading to the enactment of the Custody of Infants Bill in 1839.

South-east of Shalford, Wonersh has an old core with some fine timber-framed houses, including the 16th-century Grantley Arms pub; there are more old houses along the winding The Street, which starts to the right of this view. This quaint combined signpost and sheltered seat stands at the junction with The Street, Kings Road and Cranleigh Road. It is a 1920s delight, and reminiscent of a market cross in miniature.

Godalming Town and City Memories
Three of Church Street’s five pubs are in this photo - the Corn Meter extreme left, the Star centre left, and the Live and Let Live just beyond the archway on the right. The arch led to the rear of the Angel Hotel yard, owned at that time by John Jasper Taylor, who also had a temperance hotel, Deanery House, further down Church Street.
