The Fleet Family
A Memory of Caterham.
St John's Church was where all 5 of the Fleet Family children, Shirley, me, Michael, Herbert Terry, Peter, and Susan were baptised, starting in 1935 through to 1946.
Our School was opposite, and we walked all of the way from "Northdowns" at the junction of Harestone Hill road and Harestone Valley road to school daily. It's a long way for little legs..
Today I live in Kent and Susan in Lancashire.
Mum came from Lancashire, Dad Jack, from 44 Beechwood Gardens.
In the church car park behind the shops, across the road in 1944/5 Anti Aircraft guns were located, one managed to shoot and hit the wing of a Doodlebug (V1) over the railway line, it was heading towards Coulsdon.
I didn't see it crash because someone pulled me into the Shop doorway that sold haberdashery.
Many more memories available. Mike J. Fleet.
