Primary or to st Anthony RC church walking past Travis court now a private housing development and past the village hall with Farnham royal men's club on
The side (the gay club) then the cottages .then the three pubs the jolly butchers
The crown .and the dukes head .and in the middle off the road was the pump
On the left was the war memorial and on the right was the old convent with it lightbulb always shining .on the left was the ancient woodland dating back a thousand years on the right hand side of the of the road was a old farm building

I recall Farnham Park Recuperative Centre very well, and the gang of us, that walked to the pub after dinner each evening. As I was there for three months, for rehabilitation, from June 20th 1949. after a Bilateral Cup Arthroplasty at the RNOH Stanmore Othopaedic Hospital. Of which, the first cup has gone on to become "The Guinness Book World Record Breaker"
Lasting, 66years and 353days. As of
19 November 2015.
