Triggs Garage And The Beatles
A Memory of Esher.
George Harrison lived in Esher in the early 60's, he used to pull into what was Triggs Garage in his E-type with Patty Boyd quite regularly. Michael Bentine of the Goons lived round the corner from us in Sandown Road, where all the wealthy people lived at that time. We lived in Hillbrow Road that had Triggs at one end, and George Harrion's dentist Powell Cullingford. Great memories in the early 60's queueing round the block of the Odeon to watch Cliff Richard in Summer Holiday or Norma Wisdom classics.. Standing in Boots the Chemist booths to choose records after listening to classics such as 'Tie me kangaroo down, sport' by Rolf Harris! My father, stood as liberal candidate for Esher in 1963 and narrowly lost by 8 votes. He wanted to build the bypass that is now the A3 that goes nowhere. The Esher high street, the 715 Greenline bus used to come through every day to Guildford, 1 shilling and three pence return to Guildford daily.
