School Days

A Memory of Christ's Hospital.

I was at Christ's Hospital School from Sept 1936 to Dec 1943.During this period we had visits by General de Gaulle and other well-known people. We used the roof of the dining hall to look out for raiding aircraft and incendary bombs. We could see the steam trains with their flat trucks carrying anti-aircraft guns on the Guildford line. Christ's Hospital station used to be Stammerham Junction before the school came in 1902. In fact I think the Stammerham farm which used to supply dairy produce to London 'sold up' to provide the ground for the school... Much more can be found by 'googling' the area.
