Surrey Completed Look up Requests / Re: Charlwood Park
« on: Thursday 06 May 10 13:23 BST (UK) »
Sorry for dragging this old topic up but i stumbled on it while doing some nostalgia searches
I grew up in this building and lived here from 1969 to 1980. My grandfather owned both houses Charlwood Park Farm House and Meadow Cottage (which was given to my parents
and has since been demolished for some idiot to park cars on Peter somebody or other)
When I lived here the big white house at the back was already in disrepair and when your a kid was ofcourse the scariest haunted house you could imagine but the dog disappeared up there for hour on end chasing rabbits
The farmer next doors name was Ivor and had an assistant called John Farthing who turfed me out of enough haystacks
They have totatlly ruined the countryside here by diverting the river mole and building huge fuel container type structures on the site of the demolished White House
Regarding the gardners cottage at the Povey Cross end , There was a guy that used to live there that had his own private plane that he sued to store in his garage
My grandfathers house is now a childrens nursery called The Farmhouse, Ive been there recently and have some vids and pictures but I guess you have to be careful nowadays walking around with a camera near to a school
