More about this scene
These vehicles are passing through the village long before today's bypass was created. On the fast A24 dual-carriageway road, signs once warned of 'deceptive bends'.

If anyone could shed any light on the subject I would be most grateful.
I remember Miss L Garrard, the Head Mistress, Miss T Garrard her sister, and their adopted son Malcom Daverney (?). He had an open top MG sports car, and one day I had to go to the Dentist in Dorking for emergency treatment and I got taken by him in the MG. I was quite a celebrity for that. There are names that spring to mind: Catherine Collard, Jean and Pauline Hassell, Danny and Rusty Howell, ...see more
I also have memories of St Nicholas, and was a pupil at the school from 1949 aged four, till 1952. Miss Garrard was the headmistress, and I seem to remember she was very kind. I had a kindergarten teacher who was absolutely horrible, very spiteful. I can't remember her name and I wonder if anyone else does. I do remember watching with another pupil, from the top of the staircase, her being taken to ...see more
