The Gasworks, on the Common near the railway

n June 13th 1917, the nation was appalled when 162 people were killed in a German air-raid on London, including 18 children O(most of them under six) at an elementary school in Poplar. It was the resumption of the Ger- man air campaign against the capital, only now they had abandoned Zeppelins and were using large Gotha GIV aeroplanes, which caused greater loss of life. War casualties were no longer confined to contending armies fighting far away from home, but could now be inflicted in the heart of the community. This may be the occasion to look back on how air attacks had affected Cranleigh up to this point in the Great War.

The Zeppelin attacks had begun two-and-a-half years earlier, in January 1915. These huge, slow- Wreaths at Poplar to the schoolchildren killed in the Zeppelin raid moving, almost silent, airships brought devastation In July 1915, the people of Cranleigh were informed and destruction, and flew too high for the British that the hooter at the Gasworks would be sounded anti-aircraft guns available at that point.

Zeppelin L13 that bombed Guildford in 1915 (David Rose, Guildford: Remembering 1914-18 (2014))

If Cranleigh escaped the attentions of the Zeppe- lins, Guildford was not so fortunate. On Wednesday, October 13th 1915, Heinrich Mathy himself in the Zeppelin L13 dropped twelve bombs on St Cath- erine’s village, Guildford. It seems likely that he was intending to bomb the Hampton waterworks, but missed a bend in the river Thames, and followed the river Wey instead. Considerable damage was done to property in St Catherine’s, but no one was killed – apart from 17 chickens and one swan. War- time reporting restrictions meant that there was no report or even mention of this in the Surrey Adver- tiser or other newspapers.

An ‘accidental’ bombing like this could happen in Cranleigh too. Within days, on October 28th, the members of the Baptist church resolved to insure at once ‘against possible damage by hostile aircraft’.

The Zeppelins continued to cause death and destruction across the capital in 1916. It was not until September 2nd 1916 that the first Zeppelin was brought down. The heroic Lieutenant William Leefe Robinson, of 39th Squadron, Royal Flying Corps, flew close over and around the SL11 airship, and Lieutenant William Leefe Robinson (from J. Christopher, British fired incendiary bullets into it. The airship caught Posters of 1st World War) fire and came down at Cuffley, Herts., killing the entire crew. Leefe Robinson was awarded the Victoria they were all repelled. Heinrich Mathy was in the Cross. Zeppelin L31.

Cranleigh had been spared the bombing 77 CRANLEIGH MAGAZINE faced by people in the capital, but they knew that the danger always existed, so the lighting restrictions were strictly enforced by the local police.

In February 1917, it was on the evidence of Police Constable Saunders that two respected shopkeep- ers, Charles Crick of the Northampton Boot Store and Henry Rowland of the grocer’s shop next door, were summoned before the Guildford County Bench, accused of failing to screen the lights in their shop windows. In defence, they produced a London newspaper whose blackout time they were following, but it turned out that blackout time in Cranleigh was half-an-hour earlier than in the capital. As it was an understandable mistake, the case was dismissed. Right: Advert for Rowland’s Stores in the early 20th century.

I’d never had any previous experience in cooking, not even in my family home as we had a maid. We were well off in the sense that my mother had good pay and my father’s earnings were sufficient.

I had taught on and off for about 2 years before I went to Switzerland, in 1953. I thought it would be a temporary thing. But having qualified as a cook through the apprenticeship I enjoyed this work very much so I never went back to Italy. British troops in Italy 1944 In 1960 I came to England as a qualified chef.

My mother had died and my father was running the family on his own. It was hard for him. I decided to take a short course, a year and a half to become a primary school teacher. In 1951 I qualified as a primary school teacher.

It was difficult to find a job in Italy. A friend of mine who had become very important in Italy in the world of poetry, I suppose he was sort of the ‘Poet Laureate’ for a while.

I had various job offers. One as a lecturer at Southsea Portsmouth College of Technology, one at the Hospital and another with Trust House Forte. Then another one at Cranleigh school which offered more money and was more Management than cooking. So I went there as Catering Manager, cooking for 700 pupils over two schools. The beauty of it was that by 7 o’clock I was finished. I had five weeks holiday in the summer, two weeks holiday at Christmas, two weeks holiday at Easter and lived in Cranleigh, in a school

I did all the catering for both schools, the entire purchasing etc. I would work it out week by week and prepared five weeks’ menus and did all the ordering for that.

I had a budget of £1.25 per day, per person. That covered three meals each plus sports and extras. I never overspent. I always had a little bit over for perhaps a staff party at Christmas or something like that. I enjoyed it.

I stayed there for 15 years, from 1971 to 1986. In the meantime I bought my own house in Cranleigh.

In 1986 I looked for another job and found one at Charterhouse in Godalming. There I had a higher status as it was quite a big job because I was the General Manager. I was in charge of some house- keeping as well. There were 700 pupils living in 11 Houses. Finally I was doing the job I trained for, as a qualified Hotel Manager.

really talking about? The contenders are Common Crane Grus grus and the Grey Heron Ardea cinerea. Now the former died out almost entirely in Britain many decades ago while the latter is a local resident breeder.

However, confusion between the two is rife and we just haven’t got our act together after all these years. Both species are depicted in Cranleigh on modern street furniture, murals and school logos, and in some cases it is hard to identify what they are meant to be.

The one outside Cranleigh Village Hall looks more like a White Stork. The best Common Crane depic- tion I’ve seen, so far, is Malcolm Skipp’s beautiful 2012 mosaic at the Cranleigh Medical Practice.

Country folk often referred to the Grey Heron as a Crane and some still do. The Common Crane is said to have been a resident of local marshland in olden times yet there are strangely no confirmed records of its existence in Cranleigh. Birds In Surrey, edited by Donald Parr (1970), accepted only two records for the species in the whole county.

Grey Herons, we know, were hunted by Royals and Grey Heron Ardea cinerea gentry in bygone times and eaten as a delicacy. King William, it has been recorded, once complained of continued on page 16

Starting from Guildford Station, the scouts boarded a train to Ashurst New Forest, changing at Woking and Basingstoke. Nineteen boys and one girl with five leaders was the total contingent, managing to get our packs on and off several trains much to the surprise of the travelling public.

Once in the hiking area we split into patrols and headed 8 miles to the first campsite to put up lightweight tents and cook the dehydrated meals – lovely – we then built a campfire and told a few yarns. Fortunately the weather was fine and clear but it was very cold at night – so clothes were put on to go to our sleeping bags. The next morning, more pre-dried food for breakfast and then at least a 12 mile hike to the Girl Guide campsite at Ferney Croft – this proved to be a full days walking and the Scouts did very well to keep going.

As the June magazine is all about digging deeper I thought I would follow the theme from a the angle of Feeling Good, Looking Good. How by looking after your skin can reveal a fresh new vibrant you.

our skin is the body’s largest organ but one we can often ignore. It is formed of many layers and Ywe need to refresh and protect it. Our skin ages from the day we are born. This aging occurs is two ways - through biological changes and from environmental effects. A comprehensive approach to skin care can address both factors. Prevention, protection and action is required! The use of pure, safe and beneficial products are critical in maintaining a youthful appearance and keep damage to a minimum. The mirror tells the truth - who is the fairest? Those who look after their skin.

Functional medicine is an evidence-based approach that looks at the pattern of dysfunction and offers a model of care that can positively impact chronic illness.

RECIPES

Warhe theme this month is “war time recipes”. I wasscraps in Italy when WWII was going on, and I remember the Tmeals we had at home when bread was not available and the fresh pasta my mother used to make was made with cake flour (not from durum wheat) - which was always grossly overcooked. However, we also had some great meals that even now I often make for myself. Below is a typical 3 course meal we all enjoyed.
