Litter in Surbiton Rec

6 years ago...

I cannot believe the amount of litter in Surbiton Rec today. Mainly from fireworks. I usually pick it up on my walk through and put it in the bin but forgot my plastic glove today! Does anyone else collect the litter as I do? What an eyesore

Benches in Victoria Recreation Park

Any ideas as to why almost all the benches have been removed? Was the decision made by the same person at Kingston Council who decided to build the infamous Keep Off The Grass wooden fence around the park which lasted about six months until someone kicked it all over?

My name is Michael Singleton. I attended Woodlands school from about 1960 to 1965. I remember friends that I'd love to get in touch with - Anthony Jarvis, Vigi, Robert Child's to name just three. I'd love to hear people's memories of the school!

Moving into Berrylands

My partner and I are looking at moving into the top end of Berrylands, near the station. Just wonder if anyone living in this area can tell us about their experiences here - good place to live? Safe? Tranquil? Local amenities? Happiness factor?! Would really appreciate any genuine feedback. Thanks, in advance

Were Cooper Racing Cars ever at Raeburn Garage?

7 years ago...

I've been doing some research on the Cooper Car Co. run by John Cooper and his father, Charles, or Charlie as he was better known. They won the Formula 1 championship in 1959 and 1960 and John was responsible for the Mini Cooper being built by the British Motor Corporation (BMC).

For many years the company worked out of premises in Hollyfield Road, originally from a series of wooden sheds but then from 1959 in a purpose built garage that still exists and is now home to a Porsche dealership.

Name of Bread and Cake Shop on Tolworth Broadway in the 1950-60's

7 years ago...

My Mother was manageress of a Bread & Cake Shop on Tolworth Broadway in the 1950's 1960's. I have asked around with no luck. It's location was on the left as you travel from the Toby Jug Roundabout towards Surbiton. Near to where the Sunshine Cafe & Restaurant is now.

The shop was one of a Chain and she would often help out at a shop on Kingston Road junction of Ruxley Lane and also on Wimbledon Broadway.

Her name was Phyllis Hill and lived at 20 Cox Lane, Chessington from 1949 to her death in 2002.
