Download: $15.95 Child of the Surrey Hills includes tales of cat’s whiskers and radio hams, early telephony and mystery telegrams, moonlit ‘wood poaching’ on Hurtwood Common, the Honour Club (a charitable scheme to get women out of East London), the fears of tuberculosis, looping the loop over Croydon, Youth Hostelling in Wales and along the Thames, dallying with Communism in Havant, Hampshire – and much else. It is a rich source for local and social historians, as well as good read.
