This image is a Reference Print: it has not been shown on our website before as it has not been optimised and therefore may not meet the quality standards we require for use in our normal product range. However, we understand that this image could be potentially important for genealogical, local history or architectural research and so we are showing it on the website for on-line research only. The photo may be available to buy, but needs to be checked and optimised before you can place an order.

Why are these different? All 300,000 photographs in The Frith Collection have been scanned, but as the photos were taken over a 110 year period on a wide range of glass & film negatives, using different photographic processes, every image has to be checked and optimised, before we make a print for a customer.

What a big surprise stumbling across this photo of where I lived during the 1960's. The caption on the photo dates it as c.1965. I can perhaps be a bit more accurate on the date. The shop called Mould was sold in 1962 to my parents and we lived in the flat above.

I chanced upon this site. It brought back great memories from early 1980's. I met 'Kathleen' 'Kathy' at Preston Cross Hotel, I was as a receptionist there . Nito's People were the resident band. At the weekends the hotel held dinner dances. Kathy and I worked at the dinner dances, taking the guest coats and doing the guest billing. As I remember her husband was Alan and they had a daughter Sylvia. They owned the Granary, in Great Bookham High Street. I remember they sold animal feed .
Attended Bookham Primary school.The headmaster was Mr Brown.Pupils included the Walker Smiths managers son and the Lloyds bank managers son. It was a small village in those days.My grandparents lived in church cottages in church road and I lived in middlemead road.
In 1924 my grandparents Charles and Maud Kleboe bought The Croft, Church Road. The Croft is the house with the For Sale sign. They bought it from Mrs Procter, the widow of Dr Procter, who was famous for visiting patients by car. The 1871 census shows a Dr Steadman and family living there. The census includes a resident coachman. The stables are still there behind The Croft. I lived there in the late 1940s/early fifties.
