More about this scene
Cattle seek the summer shade and the cool waters of the Bourne at this ancient farm. It was originally called Bunn's Farm, after the ironmaster who worked at the nearby 18th-century Coxe's Lock Mill on the banks of the Wey Navigation. The farm, now called Crockford Bridge Farm, had its Dutch-style gable end damaged by a bomb during the Second World War.

I lived down Shakespeare road (#31) in Addlestone from 1943-1962; my parents lived there until 1984. The area was known as poets corner for all the four roads were named after poets (Shakespeare, Tennyson, Byron and Wordsworth).

I am the boy in the foreground on a bike and in the background on a bike is my friend Tony.
We were worried about the man staring at us, he had a big box and I guess a tripod. When we got home we said about it to our dads and later were told it was a man taking photos, others had also asked.
Our family lived in Church Road from 1953 for, I believe, around 27 years.
my memories hover around my grandmother's little general store at 106 New Haw Road, Does anyone remember it? She converted her front room into this small store and I had aunts and uncles living at 125 and 127 New Haw Road. I spent most of my time playing with my cousin Beryl Alexander at 125 and, with her friends, had many illicit adventures over many years! I was evacuated there from London during the war and attended the local junior school with Beryl and her entourage.
