My Visit To My Grandfather

A Memory of Farnborough.

I would come with my father and brothers and sisters to see my grandfather who lived in a small house. There was a railway very near and the trains would run outside his house. His road was called Elm Grove Road, Farnborough. We always went into the house though the back of the house, it was a very small house. I do not remember my grandmother but I do remember my grandfather, his name was Henry Fisher but he used the name Fred, not Henry. My father was also Henry but I am not sure he was brought up there, and I am not sure about my father's brothers Ronald and George and sisters Dorothy and Olive but I do think my father's youngest brother was brought up in this house as he was born in 1943 in Aldershot, he is Robert. My grandmother was Hilda, she was born in Mytchett Frimley as were my father and his brother George and sister Dorothy, all were born in Coleford Farm. I think it is near to Farnborough. My dad and mum got married from Elm Grove Road and I think they lived there for a while. If anyone knows my family I would love to know more about them and the family that are still there and where they lived.
Regards,
Marilyn

The train was the Invincible (now on the Isle of Wight) The train ran materials etc straight from the Farnborough Main line Station, into the Royal Aircraft Establishment. Now long gone, part of the track can still be seen on the corner of Elm Grove Road and Union Street. Coleford Farm was, I think, on the border of Farnborough and Mytchett.
