More about this scene
The ruinous 70ft high 12th century keep, all that remains of Henry III's favourite palace. It was the only Royal Castle in Surrey; the motte was raised soon after the Norman Conquest. The only action the castle ever saw was in 1216, when it was occupied by the French at the invitation of the Barons rebelling against King John.

I was born there, we lived in a flat over the shop and I have vivid memories of watching the carnival from the window. I also remember there was an abattoir at the back of the shop. I think the shop was called Colebrooks.

I remember thinking even at the age of 10 how run down the street was and how old fashioned the baths were. The smell of chlorine was quite overwhelming as you went in. Frpm what I remember you actually went up a set of stairs from the street to get to the pool, which ...see more
