Ethan Hill

A Memory of Egham.

My grandmother used to own and run the nursing home at Northdene on Egham Hill (just where it joined at Middle Hill). I believe it burned down a few years ago and was rebuilt as flats at Northdene Court. I lived there with my grandmother during the mid sixties until I moved up to Edinburgh in '71 after my grandmother died. My uncle still lives in Englefield Green. I remember attending the school in School Lane in Egham, and later St Jude's in Englefield Green.

I spent a lot of time in Egham and Englefield Green at the weekends and school holidays until I left in 71, and didn't return until just after Northdene had been sold to the developers to be turned into flats....just before it burned down!

Loved my time in Egham and look back on those days fondly.
