Selsdon Vale
A Memory of Selsdon.
My father bought the pig farm known as Woodley in Selsdon Vale in 1951. I was four. I attended Selsdon Primary school until I was eleven when I moved to Riddlesdown. I really treasure my childhood memories as I had so much fun. During school holidays I would go out with my dad in his lorry to collect the pigswill from hotels, hospitals, etc. From all the articles I've read about Selsdon no one ever mentions Selsdon Vale. My name then was Lesley Willers. Does anyone remember me?

I lived in Ingham Close.I also attended Riddlesdown.
Do you know which roads are now where your pig farm was? I moved to Selsdon in 1978 to the development on the Dabners' piggery which became Ridge Langley behind Upper Selsdon Road. In 2009 I moved to Selsdon Vale, so I might live on your old farm, sorry! My house has a great view overlooking Selsdon Wood, which is why we bought it! It's a shame there's so little I can find on Selsdon Vale before its development, there are a few pictures of Selsdon Hill (O.F.Rd), but I'll keep on digging...
