Would anybody have any knowledge of the Mill Mead area of Guildford, my father was in born in 1909 at
9 Wiblins Buildings, Mill Mead, Guildford, U.D.
I realise that many buildings in the area have succumbed to the two world wars but I have tried to find either photo's or plans of that area prior to ww1, to no avail.
My granddaughter is at Surrey University, Guildford and often goes down to Mill Mead by the river and she would also like to get a sense of where her Great Grandfather would have lived.
My G/Grandfather although on my fathers birth certificate is marked as occupation, "scaffolder" later worked for the company- 'Dennis Brothers Ltd' in Guildford and I have tried to obtain information from the Company but they also no longer exist, they are now a separate firm under the name of 'Dennis Motors' and say they cannot help me.
Would be very greatfull for any help in expanding my research,
Alan
