I current live at Holmesdale Park, as it is now called. If anyone is interested in seeing the estate as it is today, there are a few apartments currently for sale, with photos of the gardens and also drone aerial views which are very impressive. Just enter the postcode RH1 4NW on any of the big property websites.
There are details and photos of the Maw family on their website. Maw-Family.co.uk
Surrey history museum also have archive photos of the house from when the Maw family were in residence.
Thank you for all these posts, as it’s so interesting to know more of the history of this beautiful estate. |

Remember it well ! I drove for Austens Coaches in Dorking in the 80s and 90s so therefore I drove from r Reigate garage where for a short time Austens rented space. I remember well the old buses stored there untill the Clapham Museum opened,in 1961.

Hi, I have an electric fridge from Tamplin & Makovski, which i understand was bought in 1948. Until a few years ago, it was working. However, I had to disconnect it, as the wiring started to smoke. Not surprising, as the old rubber cables were very cracked and perished. If anyone would like to give it a home, let me know. It has the original shelves, ice tray and glass meat tray. I should warn you, it's VERY heavy. It took 4 large men to get it off the ground! |

Yes, I do think your parents in law were friends with my parents. I think Mary came to my wedding in 1988 and I think as a child I can remember going for Sunday lunch at their house in Reigate , East Walk?.Was their daughter called Jane? I have a feeling she liked riding horses maybe as think she once took me to some riding stables to see a horse she rode back in the 1970s. |

I went to North Bank School from 1947 to 1953. I have such clear memories of being there. I have a wonderful School photo when I’m sitting on the grass with my friends in the front row and can remember the names of almost everyone in that photo. It was a happy School. |

Jennie Goddard, I think your parents attended our wedding as your father was a friend of my parents in law, Len Thompson and Mary. Len worked at Crusader all his working life, from the age of 14 until he died at the ge of 61. Our wedding was nearly 50 years ago at Reigate Methodist Church. |

Can you point out Miss Newberry. She was Mum's German teacher. She was living in Cambridge in the late 70s/early 80s and we visited her there. |

My late mother is front row left. Jeanne Margaret Watson as she was then. I have been looking into Banstead Wood POW camp, as Mum was friendly with some of the Germans. She won a German songbook at school. She passed her love of the German language on to me |

Earlswood Mount was converted into offices for Redhill General Hospital. The stables and garages were converted to two houses and my family lived in Fir Cottage, Earlswood Mount fromc1953 to early 1957. My father, Desmond Powell, was Group Catering Officer at the hospital. In 1957 he moved to Horton Hospital, Epsom and we bought our own house in Epsom. |

These properties are 81 and 83 Brighton Road. I 1920, or thereabouts, my grandfather Herbert Marchant bought the property on the left, No. 83, and opened it as a greengrocer's and fruiterer's. My father, Van, who had just left school went to work for him, and later his daughter, Edith and youngest son Reginald also worked there. Our family continued to own the shop until 1980 when my father retired. My grandparents lived over the shop but later moved to The Cutting and then my parents lived there from 1940 when they married until 1952 when we moved to Meadvale. Even though I was only 5 when we moved I have many memories of living there. After we moved the living room was incorporated into the shop and the upstairs rooms were used for storage - it was not great. |

I have only just found this site and, as I grew up in Meadvale, as did both my parents, I remember the Samuels family well, including two girls, one of whom I think was called Diane. My maiden name was Marchant and my Dad had a greengrocer's shop in Brighton Road, Redhill and knew George and Jack Samuels well. |

I remember this event, although not the Punch and Judy. We used to have some photos of races which also took place. I think my Mum is standing in the middle of the front row of adults wearing a light dress and dark cardigan and I think the girl you can partly see sitting in front of her with darkish hair and a light coloured bow is me. I was six and we had moved to Meadvale from Brighton Road Redhill, where my Dad had a greengrocer's shop, the previous year although family had been living there since to 1860s. I can't see my sister who still lives there in a flat looking out over Swing Common. |

She described cycling from Sutton to Reigate each day for school, lying on the grass looking at aircraft contrails overhead during the Battle of Britain, and sheltering in the nearby caves in the chalk during air raid alerts. |

Hello again - I hope this post is accepted. I've had some wonderful information from a few correspondents about my great-aunt's school Woodside, and visited the old site, so I've put together all that I've collected and made a website with some photos: http://www.jillgoulder.plus.com/Woodside/. I hope it awakes a few memories for people!
I would have liked to contact Alan Cross of Newbury, who posted on the page in 2013 that he had photos of Woodside - I would so love to see those! And Helen MacDonald posted in Oct 2023 that she had photos of pupils in Woodside grey and green uniforms, which would have been wonderful to see, but sadly I haven't been able to contact her. Perhaps one day! |

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 |
