My Great Grandfather
A Memory of Guildford.
The man in this photograph is quite possibly my Great-Grandfather. The family name is 'Wye' and he was the lock keeper at St. Catherines lock during the late 1800's early 1900's the family lived in the lock keepers cottage on the River Wey, where they ran a little tuck shop on the river bank. He also operated a punt (known as the St. Catherines ferry) to take people across the river to the golden sands at St. Catherines hill. My Grandmother Ada Reffold (nee) Wye was married in St. Nicolas Church , Guildford to Henry Reffold in the 1920's and taken by punt down the River Wey in her wedding dress from the cottage to the church for the service.
