More about this scene
This is an unusual view for the time, showing the old Portsmouth Road, now by-passed and merely the A307. Even then, the road shows signs of traffic congestion. Note the substantial old-fashioned telegraph poles and cables, a once-familiar sight on Britain's trunk roads.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I’m researching the New Moon Café, The Street, Cobham. It was opposite The Little White Lion. It was owned by Bob and Lottie Bush during the war. My great-great grandmother Katherine Overington and my great-grandmother Ivy Cattermole lived and worked there in 1946 for some years, and apparently Ivy Cattermole took ownership. I’d love to know anything about the café or of my great-grandmother Ivy Cattermole. Many thanks, Sinéad
I remember in the late 1970's / early 1980's walking to a sweet shop in Tartar Road from Freelands Road, where my Nan lived.
The shop was converted back into a house shortly afterwards.
The memory is so vague that I am starting to believe I made it up.
Please could someone help me make sense of this?
Thank you x
I remember summer nights with my nana walking from Leigh road to the Tartar public house and sitting outside on the seats watching the traffic on Portsmouth road on Bank holidays eating crisps and drinking lemonade. Happy memories of my Nana Edith Lambert,does anyone remember her.
Does anyone remember Kingham's Grocers, My Grandmother Mrs Edith |Lambert worked there, she also worked there when it became Cullens.
