COBHAM ROAD
ORCHARD [CLOSE] PARADE: Built 1934/1935 Builder Mr Neil who lived in the house between Orchard Cottage and the Butchers in No 1. His firm also built Orchard Close 1936 directory Marshall S fishmonger “Garage” alongside appears in 1955 to be used by a fishmonger [Notes from “Frith”] This parade of shops is in my memory for ever - my family moved to Orchard Close - which starts just beside the post office on the right of the picture - in 1946. My brother was five and I was six months old. We were there for twenty years. Every day, until a supermarket appeared in Leatherhead in the early sixties and we got a fridge, my mother would walk down our road and buy the food for lunch and the evening meal, and she'd cook the evening meal from scratch; always meat or fish and vegetables and a substantial pudding. These shops held everything: starting from the right of the picture were the post office, the chemist's run by Mr. Coleman, the greengrocer's, the grocer's run by Mr. Read and the butcher's. Right at the end was a fishmonger's but I cannot recall if it was open every day or just Fridays. To add to my previous memories of the parade of shops. I recollect now that The Post Office was also a newsagent's and sweet shop and was run by Mr Hammond until he died in 1952, just after the death of George VI. The Greengrocer was called Mr Ranger and his shop was called 'Ranger's'.
