Happy Days.

A Memory of Enton Hall.

I had a dream the other night about Enton Hall in WITLEY. I was a student at Guildford Tech in the early sixties. I did a two year hotel reception course and was looking for a job near my home in Godalming. Suddenly out of nowhere my Dad saw an advert for a position at Enton Hall. Well, he took me to the interview, and I seem to remember the manager’s name was MrJarvis (He was very short). Anyway I got the job on the reception desk which also has the old fashioned telephone exchange with the wires to connect to the customer’s rooms. It didn’t take long to grasp the job as the older staff were very friendly and helpful. I quickly made a friend with a young masseuse and we were next to each other in the staff quarters in the grounds. Many famous people frequented this health spa getting away from their hectic lives. I believe one of them was Angela Douglas reputedly a friend of the actor Kenneth Moore. I also remember what a long way it was to get to the main road for the nearest bus stop to get to my house. Definitely scary at night walking back in the dark. I don’t know what prompted the dream and why it was in ruins as I hadn’t thought about it for a long time. I’m nearly 81 years old now so a lot of it is a blur. Quite sorry it was left in a bad state.
