Hello Helen MacDonald - I've just seen your fascinating post about Woodside uniform photos! How absolutely lovely it would be to see them. I know that sadly (though understandably, of course) the site doesn't allow email addresses to be published, so I am most frustrated at how to contact you in order to see them. I was in touch, too, with several people too who were at Woodside at the same time, and who were interested in getting in touch with each other, which I'd love to do via a private email group. I hope that the excellent admin of the page can help (as some of the former pupils are now of very advanced years), so that ideally a few of us could exchange memories and photos. I'm ready to give an email address that can be freely published (starts with emmawoodhouse), and in my next post I'll give it and HOPE that the system won't block it and that some of us can communicate privately about Woodside. All the very best to all who knew and loved Woodside

Pamela Gunn from Morpeth posted this comment on Wednesday 27 December 2023 14:37:30.

This is indeed West Lodge and We lived in this house between 1967 and 1973 when Royal Earlswood Hospital existed as a residential hospital for patients with severe learning difficulties. My husband was a Hospital Engineer. Some of the happiest days of my life were spent here, and my two elder boys remember it with much affection. We met Gary's parents some year's ago at the Lodge.

Margaret Nicholson from Chester posted this comment on Tuesday 05 December 2023 08:05:06.

I was at North Bank from 1948 to 1954. In the same class as Josephine & remember Gillian & Tony, all above. Tony, I seem to remember your mother, & big sister? Another teacher, Miss Jutson, taught us in the Transition class. Do you remember the unvarying timetable? Today is Tuesday so we would have had English before our milk & Arithmetic afterwards. I seem to recall that term started on a Wednesday, so that was nature study. We learnt about earwigs & woodlice, & for many years I muddled them up!

Jo Stewart-Long - lovely to see your comment about Woodside! As you'll have seen in the comments, it was started by my lovely great-aunt Sylvia who then handed it on to Mrs 'Codfish'. Very sadly I know nothing about the history of the house - Redhill must have been very different in those days

I went on line to look for info on Woodside School and found all your comments - loved reading through them! I attended the school in I think 1968 to 1969, Mrs Godsiffe was headmistress (we called her Mrs Codfish behind her back!) My teacher was Mrs Lawson, but I would have liked Mrs Barklet instead as she was lovely. It was indeed a lovely house, I'd love to know more about its history

Mr. Gerald Rowland Bridges from Tonbridge posted this comment on Friday 20 October 2023 11:45:42.

I have a record of a Miss Doris Black who worked for the Mc Alpine Family at Holmsdale House Nutfield Surrey. It is on A3 paper three pages long. It states where she first started in service for them in Thortonhall Clyde, Scotland. Doris Black story really starts from 1918 when she worked in the shipyards on the Clyde. Her father worked As an engineer for Sir Robert McAlpine, sadly he was killed in Lincolnshire while they were relaying the G.N.E. Railway. Please contact me if you would like to no more.

Graves Coaches, Redhill, Surrey (Foden NPL 900). ...

PETER TULLOCH from Derby posted this comment on Monday 05 June 2023 11:36:47.

Yes, Graves did have other Foden coaches - a total of five altogether. Four of them were similar half cab Fodens - NPE 152, NPG 517, NPK 806 and NPL 900. The fifth Foden coach was one of their rear engine models - RPD 250. All carried bodies built by Metalcraft from Blythe Bridge, Stoke-on-Trent. They were delivered between 1949 and 1952 and the last was taken out of service in May 1964.

The chapel was beautiful. My cubicle was right next to the hall which communicated our cubicles with the choir’s chapel. I suppose in another era, boarders could go down to mass from the cubicles. I loved to go the chapel and just pray, through that door, without being caught by sister Bernard.

Maria Victoria Garcia Azuero from Cartagena, Colombia posted this comment on Monday 08 May 2023 21:20:54.

Apologies. Reverend Mother was Bernard. Sister Pascal took care and slept on the third floor with all the boarders. She would draw the curtain without any notice. Just to check and see you were busy. Sister Jerome would do the same. One time I had a nasty cold. And one of the boarders brought me a tray with food. I was very hungry. As I am eating dinner, all of a sudden, I hear footsteps and the curtain is being drawn sharply. Says sister Jerome: you are not ill at all, if you are eating. Tomorrow, down to class!

I bordered from 1965-1967. It looks quite the same. Except there was a wall in between cubicles. For more privacy, a sink, wardrobe, chest of drawers, night table.

Anthony ( Tony ) Wiggins from Benimeli, Spain posted this comment on Sunday 19 March 2023 14:03:58.

I was most interested to come across this article. I have very fond memories of this little school. I was there from 1950 to 1956 and remember both Josephine Watson and Gillian Mann. The name Vanessa Chappell also rings a faint bell. I would be interested to find out the surname of Christine Iqbal when she was there as I remember a Christine but that was not the surname ( possibly Wheeler ). Thanks to Colin in his message reminding me of Mrs. Manders who I seem too remember was very nice . If anybody would like to contact me I would be most interested to hear from them to discover what their lives held for them after leaving the North Bank School. I left and went on to Oxted County Grammar School and married the girl I travelled with every day on the bus from Reigate to Oxted. Still married after meeting at the tender age of 11 and happily living out retirement in Spain.

Fete at the fire station. Unknown date.

Mervyn Edwards from Winchester posted this comment on Tuesday 31 January 2023 19:28:38.

I used to attend Holmesdale School in Holmesdale Road. I lived in Warren Road which runs down to what we called 'Spurgeons'. In about 1948 our school was scheduled to be redecorated. It was decided to minimise disruption to the school that our class would be relocated for the period of the redecoration to the sports pavilion shown in this photograph. I remember it was rather cold and each day we had to walk from school to this pavilion and back.

Earlswood incident by flying bomb. June 19th ...

Annie Kevans from France posted this comment on Friday 13 January 2023 15:34:12.

Does anyone know where I could find photos of the damage from a bomb that fell on the 5th of January 1944? My grandparents lived in the house with my mother and aunt who were children at the time. I have some letters written by my Granny the day after the house came down and I would be very interested in seeing photos taken at the time. Thank you.
