Redhill 1963 1989 And Shaws Corner!
A Memory of Redhill.
I was born in Redhill General Hospital in 1963 and lived in Redhill until 1989 when I moved to Crawley and got married. I went to St Matthews School in Station Road, then Springvale finally St Bedes (for one year it was Bishop Simpsons)
I visit Redhill now and then and am sad to see what a dump it has become. All the great buildings have gone only to be replaced by modern architecture. Theres no character now. I remember the old Odeon cinema, Rhythms and Cloakes the record shops, the Market Hall, Pendreds clothes shop (I wonder how much I spent there!!!) I used to go to St Matthews disco on a Sunday night and the Noke Drive youth club on Tuesdays.
My current interest in Redhill ,that led me to this website, is I am compiling a family history on the Shaws who lived, worked and gave their name to Shaws Corner. So anyone with any info or who is also a relative, let me know! Also anyone who can tell me more about the Dairy that used to be in Station Road (1880's onwards)
