My great grandparents lived in Carlshalton Road, Woodmansterne and bought up their family, including my Nanna, Dorothy, there. Their surname was Kent and they lived in the middle cottage of a terrace of 3.
My Aunt Mary (who is now in her eighties) has very fond memories of visiting them there before and during the Second World War and... [more]

As a child I lived in neighbouring Coulsdon, and Woodmansterne was a favourite cycle ride. Armed with jam sandwiches and bottle of pop, my sister and I would ride down Hatch Lane (even though you weren't supposed to), feeding the horses in the adjoining field. Then go on to Woodmansterne's park where there were playground equipment, and a huge fallen hollow... [more]

Surrey memories
I think the stationers you refer to was called Rossiters. I used to live above a shop called the Gallery at the time (later Midas) opposite the Baptist church, but remember going there to get a Helix maths set when I went into Mr Connoley's class at Banstead Junior School. Pete Chapman

Hairdressers Banstead High Street 1969-1973
I worked as a Saturday girl at the hairdressers opposite the church in Banstead High Street when I was 15 in 1969. It was called Nicolette then and I worked for Margaret and her mother Mrs Anscombe. Margaret was a lovely boss, she taught me many things. The salon seemed huge to me in those days, but on a recent visit... [more]

Coulsdon, Chipstead and Woodmansterne Photographic Memories

Coulsdon, Chipstead and Woodmansterne Photographic Memories
Two girls seem unimpressed by a boy playing leapfrog on a summer`s day fifty years ago. Opposite, E Wynne`s shop has now lost its black and white appearance with rendering and is currently Mystique Hair Design. Looking towards Chipstead Way the other shops are now a golf shop, photographer`s and the post office with the old style telephone box replaced by a modern kiosk.

This 1930s mock-Tudor shopping parade still stands on Rectory Lane as it winds its way south to the junction with the Chipstead Valley Road, where the... [more]
