Godalming College has changed beyond recognition since I was a pupil there between 1938 to 1943. As it was during the war, there was a shortage of male teachers, so there was no specialist teacher for P.E or games. Harry Withers, geography, coached the rugby XV, P.A. 'Pa Jones, maths, the soccer XI, and Jimmy Laidlaw, french, 'coached' the athletics team. I wasn't keen on cricket, I lost my front teeth playing wicket-keeper in an evening match for the 'Old Boys'. My school days were an enjoyable part of my life, I made many good friends, sadly few still living.

Beautiful place and time to live .
This was Great Britain ....
Thanks for putting those together - taken before my time but some areas I can remember looking like that - Queen Street for example.
Fabulous pictures! Lovely vid.
The Shambles I remember as Elizabeths, top of the high Street near the Pepperpot
Thank you for these!
Thanks old England 🏴 before the rest of the world 🌍 came here and destroy it.
What a difference having no cars on the road, you can see the houses and shops properly, cars muck up more than the air, they are an eyesore.
Nice job Jools, well put together!
I remember my mum and dad taking me for a tizer in that cafe
A place I could call home.
