We are looking past a mature oak tree and the caretaker's lodge to the main buildings of the secondary modern school for boys, constructed in 1959.
A small boy rattles along the pathway on his tricycle while older members of the community seek shelter from the sun.
This famous race was won this year by Frank Curzon's 'Call Boy'. Important visitors to the 1927 Derby included members of the Royal Family and Captain Lindbergh, hero of trans-Atlantic flight.
Some boys are on their way home from school, wearing caps, plus-fours and jackets with stiffened white collars to their shirts. This must be their school uniform.
This evocative beach scene shows be-hatted little girls in wind-blown skirts digging the sand, watched by two boys with heavy nets - possibly two fisher-lads?
The quarter boys above the church clock date from 1761, while the tea rooms (now Simon the Pieman, established in 1920 after this view was taken) replaced the Red Lion Inn which burned down in 1872.
The playground was the street, with the girls allowed on the south side, the boys on the north side near the Black Bull.
Cheriton had two National Schools; one for boys was built in 1869 for 100 pupils, and the other school, for 150 girls and infants, was built in 1887.

One tends to think of delivery boys with large wicker baskets as having disappeared by this time, but there are two in this picture.
I bet the tough sailor suit sported by the boy nearby keeps out the sea breezes.
Judging from the picture, these cars were definitely big boys' toys. The cars rattled and juddered around the circuit, and on hot days there was always the pervading smell of burning oil.

When it opened as the Regal in 1932, the first film shown starred Jack Hulbert and Cicely Courtneidge in 'Jack's the Boy'. The road stretches towards Camberley.
