Sheath Lane And Goldrings Road

A Memory of Oxshott.

My great-grandfather bought Heathway in Sheath Lane in 1925. We lived there from 1945 to 1953 when my father built Winterbourne in Goldrings Road on Crown Land with a 99-year lease. I went to Oxshott Primary School and St Andrews Sunday School in the old village hall. I can remember the milkman and the rag-and-bone man driving horse-drawn carts down Sheath Lane, and the walk through the woods to the station, or to Brown's shop in Fairmile Lane. Oxshott Tennis Club had a grand fete every year with a fairground, and in 1951 my mother made us 1851 costumes for the fancy dress parade.

I was born at The Pines, Sheath Lane and my father built Whitethorns on Goldrings Road in about 1953 too. I went to Bevendean School. I also went to Sunday School and Oxshott fete where I entered the fancy dress. I remember the milk man and the rag and bone man. What a coincidence. I wonder who you are.
