A Memory of Arundel.

This is my Grandfather Joseph Smith and my two Great Aunts, Kathleen and Josephine. He was about 12 in this picture. They lived yards from where this was taken in the lodge at Arundel Park gates. My great Grandfather, William, was a groom to the then Duke of Norfolk (Henry) and Great Granmother, Kate, was a domestic. I have spent many happy times in Arundel and continue to visit.

The photo of Park avenue reminds me of the school's football pitch we used from St. Philip's School, the deer that left their 'mark' on the grass, Nature Walks with Miss Clifton and walking, cycling and exploring the park - to Whiteways, South Stoke and beyond.

Yes, I too used to play football up here just in front of Hiorne Tower. I went to school with Neville at the Blessed Philip Neri Catholic school.
