More about this scene
The 1930s Town Hall replaced the Victorian building in the previous picture. This Neo-Georgian building was designed by Harold Faulkner for the landowner Mr Borelli, who aimed to return architectural harmony to the town. The Bailiff's Hall of 1674 was skilfully joined by Faulkner to his new town hall.

My input was to reduce the depth of the original Victorian pool to 1metre all over, thus making good for learners.The main pool was completely skinned with concrete ...see more
I was born in Farnham, actually Lavender Cottage, Rowledge, a nursing home I believe, in 1944 and my family lived at Thorndhu (now no. 8 I think) Broomleaf Road backing onto the railway line. My mother and brother lived there during the Second World War and an air raid shelter was built in the back garden. I now live in Montreal, Canada. My father, born in 1909, resided in his youth at Hillside Cottage, Compton - ...see more
I was born in Frensham, but moved to Farnham when aged about 5 yrs. My father was a master Taylor (Lee) & had his business at No.15 Downing Street, as did his father before him - it is now an Estate Agents.

I married in 1959 & we had two ...see more
