| Message | What an fabulous site - it reminds me of a project that I did in my first year at Albury Manor school in the '70s in Mrs Jones' History class - "A History of Merstham". I guess everybody did one, but I still have my A3 folder somewhere in the loft - do you fellow readers?? It isn't anywhere near as professional as this site of course !! Congratulations to the production team.
I remember the Austen family well - I was a year below Russell at school. I have since moved to Hampshire, travel the world a bit with my job and still manage to get back to Merstham fairly frequently to visit my parents. It was a great place to grow up, and holds truly special memories for me of the place and people that I knew.
I still see a few old reprobates from the area - in fact, I got down to Devon a couple of weeks ago to celebrate Pete Fry's 50th birthday. For those of you who know him from the '70s (on that noisy scooter and various motorbikes) you are probably as surprised as I am that he made it!
Well good luck to everyone still in my home town, and those visiting this site from far away with fond memories. |
