A Memory of Great Bookham.

Interesting to read the memory from Sue Rainer- Copland on Petherbridges greengrocers - my Mum worked there for many years. I can vividly remember long queues outside the door on many, many occasions. Above Camerons and the greengrocers was a ladies hairdressers called Geralds.

Does anyone remember Walker Smiths - grocers on the opposite side of the road?

I am looking for anyone who knew the SIMMS family of east street, great bookham. I am especially interested in local bakers in the area also.

I remember Walker Smiths very well. The cashier sat at a high desk in the middle and the shop assistant used a long grabber to get the cereal off the high shelves. Molly Hanson , my godmother, had the bakers next door. Happy memories
