Nostalgic memories of Hersham's local history

Share your own memories of Hersham and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

There used to be a bridge over the river here, but the bridge was blown up by the army around 1958. It was a fantastic sight and we rushed over to the river after the explosion to see all the dead fish.
Not many cars about, not like now.  What a wonderful happy place to live where everyone said 'Good morning', unlike now where everybody is too busy with life to take time out and smile.  All we do is moan about this and that, smile it will make a difference to everyone. Bring good old Hersham back to being a fun place to live.
