Edenbridge, High Street c.1955

As a fourteen year old, I lived for a while in a then new house in Stangrove Road. It was a welcome change in many ways from the old brick house we had been in in Oxted, Surrey. One night I thrilled my school friends from Oxted who had visited me by driving them back to the station in my mother's car!! They were most impressed!!

The picture is of the bottom end of Church Street; the old Morris Traveller was my father's car and it is parked as seen outside 72, Church Street. I was born in Edenbridge, and lived in this house until I was 17. I have very happy memories of living down this street, playing rounders, and british bulldog, all the kids in the street use to play together. We were never in doors, always out over the fields to Tank Wood and fishing down the river...'very' happy days.

I was born and brought up in Edenbridge, we lived in Church Street and my gran lived in Lingfield Road. This picture looks like the bottom end of Church Street.
