Guildford - Guildford Cathedral - October 1969

 Quite nice inside...
 ... lovely views of Onslow Village, where the Waughs lived.

 Towards the town of Guildford.

But... not the most beautiful of Cathedrals, our least favourite of all those we'd seen before or after!
This is where we lived in 1977, when we went back to the UK for two years, that's our house on the far left and the Cathedral on the Hill.

Guildford - St Martha's-on-the-Hill - October 1969

 Peter Waugh and Pennie mucking about while Peter's latest girlfriend Sonia looks on.

I wasted a lot of time searching for this same spot on Google but gave up.  Last night David came out with his old Street Atlas of Surrey and ...  I found it!

David gave me the A to Z on the 10th June 1968, on our honeymoon in London :-)
The Surrey Street Atlas we bought when we returned in 1977 and David set up a Washing Machine Repair business, he needed to know 'all' the streets around Surrey.

St Martha's on-the-Hill is on the Pilgrims Way, a beautiful walk on a beautiful day



Above is a photo I found on Google Maps and was taken in February 2011, beautiful isn't it.


Tabitha enjoying a good a lick and a polish!

Guildford - August 1969 - Taxi Repairs

Back in England, back in Merrow, back at work and David is doing much needed repairs to Tabitha 2 on the right.  He's changing gear boxes inside and out.  Tabitha 1. had to be left in Merrow while we took Tabitha 2. to Scotland, I hope T1. didn't get too upset.  T2's gear box played up on us a bit hence the change over.  And a bit of body work as well.
