More about this scene

We are west of Addlestone. Here the A320 Guildford Road meets the A319 Chobham Road and the B3121, Murray Road, from Addlestone at what is now a large roundabout. The Otter pub, a 1930s Surrey vernacular- style road-house, has now been transformed into a farmyard complex: the upper floor of the main block has been white clap-boarded and given a tiled lean-to veranda, while extensions to the left read like farm buildings and culminate in a fake oast house - picturesque and fun.

My Meath School Memories

I was a 9 year old boarder at the Meath School for a year in 1981/1982. In those days the school was a state specialist convalescence school for respiratory diseases. I remember my time in Ottershaw fondly. Each week we'd all walk in a group to the nice sweet shop in the village so that we could spend our I think 30p pocket money. The shop attendant was so patient with each of us as we uh'med and ah'ed over ...see more

My Ottershaw Days

My first memory of Ottershaw was the big freeze in the early 50's when, with a friend's help, I built a snow wall across Bousley Rise near to the top of the hill just before our house "Lintons". My father James Daborn [Jim] was not best pleased at having to dig a way through on getting back from work. My mother [Marjorie Daborn] was a teacher at the primary school, then on the crossroads of Brox Road, Slade Road ...see more
