Fair Oak As It Was
My first day of school was September 1965 at Fair Oak Infants. It wasn't too bad the first day as my Mum was allowed to stay at the back of the classroom, but after that I was left on my own. I became very ...Read more

Snowing And Floating
Can't be too specific about the year, just know I was young. Perhaps we'd not been long in our house on Carr Lane, having lived in Dronfield before. What a treasure this house was, running water, separate bedrooms ...Read more

Fair Green
I lived in that stange area of Mitcham known as Lonesome, situated between the level crossing at Eastfields and the bottom of Streatham Vale. It was a sort of 'No Man's Land'. My schooling from 1951- 1957 took place first at the wooden ...Read more

The Post Office (left) also advertises Bronte books and postcards, while the Bronte Guest House is visible behind the antiques shop (right centre).
A small group of children seems to be attracted by an early motor car, while a Hovis delivery cart waits just past the Town Arms.
The estate agent's office (right) was subsequently a bank branch and is now a florist's shop, while the post office, outside which stand three self-conscious young girls, has been transformed into a private
The large house on the left is Brewery House, and behind the post box is Brewery Barn with Brewery Cottages close by.
In the foreground are a row of workmen's cottages built in about 1910, and on the right is the post office, which now houses the island's museum.
This is at the end of the village street, cut off by the bypass which nearly runs between the two 'goal posts' (left) - this idyllic view cannot be seen today.
On the right, next to the last parked vehicle, was the town's main post office before the current one was built in St John's Square.
But the Post Office still occupies this same house, even if it is much modernised and extended. Sadly, the little circle of grass has long since fallen victim to the demands of modern traffic.
A new estate of housing also now replaces the post office and shop on the left so that this view is very much altered.
The fact that it once doubled up as the local post office is also unusual. Beautifully restored, it is now a restaurant.
The entrance to the post office has moved one window to the left.
This is an excellent study of an Edwardian post office, with the postman on his cart, the telegraph boys at the door, and the postcards on display.
The girl (centre) stands outside the post office stores, which is still a lifeline in the village.
The plate by the window to the left of the door (now a window) shows that this was also the telegraph office and money order office, and also the Post Office Savings Bank.
Only a modern lamp-post detracts from the rural tranquility of Rectory Lane on its way to the old village.
Traffic restrictions and the roundabout by the Whyteleafe Tavern are still many years away, but the post office remains at 217 Godstone Road on the right.
By 1930 a War Memorial has appeared, while the cottage beyond, Old Tythe, then the post office, is now no longer a shop.
To the left is Ketnor, Luccombe Post Office, a late 17th-century house with a good external stack. Ketnor is the name of former owners of the shop, and the name board survives today.
Lurking behind the post office is the parish church, which became a cathedral in 1919.
On the left is the red brick and stone Lloyds Bank building, with its fretted skyline, while to the right is the neo-classical Post Office, built in 1881.
Swanbridge and Sully Island, once the haunt of wreckers and pirates, would play host to an equally enthusiastic yet more peaceful group of invaders each summer!
The Duke of Montagu, who lived there, held the post of Ambassador to the Court of Louis XIV, and brought back with him an impressive collection of French furniture and china.
On the left is the edge of the churchyard; beyond it lies Stanwick Post Office, and the premises of the local grocer and draper. Look closely. and you can spot the advertisement for Wall's ice cream.
Behind the post office lamp on the right the tall new Lloyds Bank building has altered the roof line.
