Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

My Grandfather, Christopher Grigg, worked here.He was a water baliff,and laterly a gardener.He took me to work several times, and I once fell in the fish pond
My great grandparents, Frederick and Alice French, owned the Fox and Goose during WW2.
My great, great grandfather Richard Ragget, a sawyer, lived in Greywell and used to drink regularly at this pub. Stories tell of the Duke of Wellington also drinking here. Does anyone else know of this? Does anyone know who the people are in this picture?
I have many fond memories of Greywell. My grandad William Edwin Poulter was born there in 1908. He built his bungalow 'Coomberry' and he used to bell-ring at the church. He lived there till he was about 90 before moving into a home and he sadly died in 2003.
