East Farleigh, The Bridge 1898

Photo ref: 41558

I was wearing my little red wellingtons which squelched when I put them on. They came well over my ankles but my legs still got splashed if I wasn’t careful. Sometimes I stamped on purpose into the puddles in the ruts made by the wheels of the farm cart. My boots made a slapping noise and the muddy water shot up and dribbled down my legs. Stamping in puddles was fun, but today I had something much more ...see more

i remember in the mid 60s my friends and i jumping off the farleigh bridge, how on earth we didn't break our necks i will never know, we stayed almost every summer week-end in the hopping huts, and had to come back to london late sunday nights, the summers were almost endless in those days, the rolling stones and the beatles, yeah, i look back with ever so fond memories. bob mullen. ps, those were the times when we swung the world by the tail ... lol

does anyone know who lives in half yoke house now,used to be wendy and farouk many years ago.Be nice to know if they are still around.

Does anyone have any information regarding Robert Horace Chilton or Nora Gwendoline Ashlee who lived at Lone Cottage in 1953. They had a young daughter (Linda) and a baby ( Robin). Robin was later adopted. We only lived there a very short time. I am trying to research my family tree. Please help. You are so lucky to live in a beautiful part of the country
