More about this scene
This pastoral scene alongside the River Wey still exists, in spite of the proximity of the busy Farnham by-pass behind the camera.

The main railway line runs along the embankment behind the line of trees in the left foreground.

My mother and brother lived there during the Second World War and an air raid shelter was built in the back garden. I now live in Montreal, Canada. My father, born in 1909, resided in his youth at Hillside Cottage, Compton - ...see more
I was born in Frensham, but moved to Farnham when aged about 5 yrs.

I married in 1959 & we had two ...see more
