Uplands Nursery

A Memory of East Grinstead.

I remember many happy summer holidays in East Grinstead. My grandparents bought a cottage with a large garden in Hermitage Lane, and opened it as a market garden named Uplands Nursery in about 1950. My grandfather, Major Braga (he liked to use his war title) kept it until he died in 1966. It was then run for a short time by my Aunt, Muriel Braga, until she sold up and moved to a bungalow round the corner. She died in 2010, in her 93rd year.

The Nursery specialised in tomatoes, but also sold other vegetables and flowers.
