| The Goodair family
|
by julie goodair (Member 10241072) on 28-Sep-2009

My parents are Trevor and Wanda Goodair. We used to live at 14 Beechwood Cottages, Heronsgate Lane. We left in 1969 and have been living in Australia ever since. I used to go to Stag Lane primary school, mum used to clean the Stag pub and Dad used to drink in it! I can remember there were some woods nearby where my friends and I would pick bluebells, daffodills ect then sell them to the people in the big posh houses. I would like to know if anyone remembers my parents and if those woods had a name. We still have relations living in Rickmansworth. Ta xx ... more >>

Hi Julie,
My name is Ian Mills and I have been on this site for several years. I may be a bit older than you, I went to the same primary school as you did, except we called it the Swillet back then. I was born in 1947 and lived in Chorleywood all my schooldays until I went to University. I think those woods you talk about were just called Heronsgate woods, but I won't swear to it. My Mum used to clean houses and she did have one lady in Heronsgate and she used to walk down there from our house in Capel Road. I spent all of my childhood on the common. I do not remember your parents myself but my sister might, I will ask her. If you want to ask any more questions or just get a kick out of finding someone from our old home, send me a note directly at imills@gulftel.com. I have been living in the USA for the last 33 years, but i do get back most years, since my Mum is still with us. She lives with my sister in Milton Keynes. Take care, Ian ... more >>

Hi, I lived in Chorleywood from 1943 until 1969 and have been trying to find old photos to send to friends I grew up with who are now in America and Australia.The Main Parade area before the new shops and Grenville Court were built would be of great interest. Does anyone know if there is a local historical society I could contact re this ? Many thanks and kind regards to all Chorleywooders, Mike Durbin

Hi Mike,
I have seen your name periodocially, when I visit this site, but I cannot place your face. I lived in Chorleywood from 1947 until 1966 when I went up to the university of Surrey. Did you live over on the Bucks side, maybe you you Pete Gravestock? I knew him quite well. Anyway, I have a book I bought in Chorleywood, called "Chorleywood and Chenies", which you might like. It has a lot of old pictures in it, including Charlie Bachelor, who cleaned windows for many years. If you want to reply to this note and give me your e-mail address, we can have a chat if you like. Sincerly, Ian Mills. ... more >>

| Field next to St. Anthony Stag Lane

Does anyone know who owns the land which runs along the bottom of the gardens, including St. Anthonys, Stag Lane? When the house was built, by my grandfather, and named for my father, Anthony, in the early 1930's, this field formed part of the large grounds. Later, several other houses were built to each side of St.. Antony, again, on land that used to be garden. Any information would be most help ful. Many thanks. Sue Littlejohn ... more >>

| The Swillet
|
by George Davis (Member 10176726) on 29-Dec-2006
|
I lived in Chorleywood from 1964 to 1965, a six year old American who went to St. Peter's Primary. My mother would take me to a Canadian barber who'd buzz me good: as the sixties progressed and hair got longer, mine got shorter. It seemed this guy's shop was in a small row, including a butcher's, which was called The Swillet. Does anyone know if The Swillet still exists, and why it is so named? Thank you.

I come to this site about once every year to check if I might know anyone. While you were going to St Peter's, I was going to Ricky Grammar. My name is Ian Mills and if you look down the list you may see my previous blurb. I was born in 1947 and lived in chorleywood until I was 18. I know the Swillet well, I went to the Swillet primary school. I was last there about 18 months ago and it has not changed very much since I was a boy. There are some additions, but you would still recognize it. Where are you now? I live in Gulf Shores, AL in the USA and have lived over here for the last 30 years. If you ever decide to go back, let me know, I would be interested in your perceptions after 40 years.

Thank you for your response Ian. My two older brothers don't remember The Swillet at all, which made me think that it was some Brigadoon-like village that I had imagined! I live in San Francisco now, and haven't been back to Rickmansworth or Chorleywood since 1970. Best regards.

by Gregory Heath (Member 10204954) on 27-Mar-2007
The Swillett Butchers shop took it's name from the local area still known as The Swillett. The shop bcame a house many years ago but still retained the metal rail outside above the windows where the meet would hang on hooks. Unfortunately only in this last year the building is no longer and has been replaced by modern housing. The name Swillett is probally Old English and means a depression with water flowing. Across the road from the shop and about 50yards to the left is a garage with a steep footpath going down the hill beside it. Not used a lot and little known, and next to the footpath for a short distance is flowing water - the original swillet. The water is either from a spring or drains from the fields behind the shop, and is only visible for about 100 yards before vanishing below ground. ... more >>

Thank you Gregory for the information. As you define it, swillet is much more pleasant than the image it has always conjured up for me: a container of swill.
I never saw the actual swillet. It's great that it still exists in one form. Thanks again.

by Peter Morgan (Member 10236691) on 9-Apr-2009
I lived in a Chartist cottage next door to the Land of Liberty (which was the 'only' pub in the Swillett; the Stag was much less popular) for three years while I was at Newland Park College. It jutted out into the road and had a large, rock in front of it to protect it from passing vehicles. There was a 'manor house' behind. Both the cottage and the pub were still there in 2004 but I didn't notice if the manor houae was.
The butcher shop you mention was a very traditional one with a wooden chopping block, sawdust on the floor and the carcases hanging in the cool room. A modern butcher had opened up in the village but his meat was nowhere near as good but cheaper. We loved the individual service we used to get but, being students, most of our custom went down the road.
The garage you mention was a traditonal 'can do garage' which helped me rebuild the engine of my 1933 MG J2.
The name of the village always raises eyebrows when I mention it and usually draws comments about pigs.
All this for what it's worth

Alan, my great grandfather, James Green, was born in the Swillet and moved to London as a young man. My mother brought my grandfather on a first return visit since childhood about 15 yers ago. I believe they contacted your mother at the time. I now live in Ireland but would be very interested in meeting you - some sunday at the Stag? I can be contacted at mark.green@amicustec.ie

HOW TO TURN £3.00 INTO £10.000 IN 30 DAYS USING 'PAYPAL'. FREE INFORMATION - DO NOT BID!! THIS ACTUALLY WORKS READ THE INFO AND YOU WILL NO THIS IS A GREAT IDEA This is staggering. It actually works. The info below is not us it was given to us and we did it for a laugh, but it works ...so do it. Earn money in your sleep! Hi, we have for many years always offered people we know / people we have come into contact with / those that have answered one of our adverts with income opportunities, and now we have found something so simple, yet which is guaranteed to make you money. I am sending you this because I have come across an exciting opportunity that is FUN to do, and you can earn some excellent money for very little effort. I have to say even after reading the statements below, I was at first very sceptical, but it occurred to me that the small investment of £3 required is less than I'll pay for my lunch today, and if it doesn't work out? well, I guess I could make sandwiches tomorrow! That's the reason why I would urge you to give this programme a chance, because you have everything to gain and nothing to lose! Please read the free information below, and decide for yourself. This is what one promoter from South Wales said about this fabulous opportunity: "I WAS SHOCKED WHEN I SAW HOW MUCH MONEY CAME FLOODING INTO MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT…" I turned £3 into £14,706 within the first 30 days of operating the business plan that I am about to reveal to you free of charge. If you decide to take action on the following instructions, I will GUARANTEE that you will enjoy a similar return! Please do not be sceptical about this programme. At least think about it for a few days. Otherwise you will be throwing away over £10,000 in cash! This system has been working for 2 years and thousands of people have joined and they have been amazed by the results of a little time and £3.00! You will too! The business plan I am about to share with you works perfectly every single time. I've never made less than £10,000 from it on each occasion. Let me assure you that this is a LEGITIMATE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, a perfectly legal moneymaking enterprise. It does not require you to sell anything. It does not require you to speak to your friends, family or anybody else (unless you want to). In fact, you do not need to come into contact with any people whatsoever. Anyone with a pulse can become successful and make their fortune with this system. If you believe that 'every dog has its day', then follow the simple step-by-step plan exactly as it is set out below. If you do this and this alone, I GUARANTEE that within the next 30 days you will receive over £10,000 in cash via your PayPal account. I know that this must sound like an outrageous claim, particularly if you've never had possession of this sort of money before, but believe me, this business works like nothing else you may have seen before in your life! By following the simple 3-step plan set out below, within a few short weeks your life will be transformed beyond all recognition! Please do not allow your initial scepticism to deprive you of certain financial success. If you decide not to take advantage of this life-changing opportunity, I would like you to know that I sincerely respect your decision and I understand that you will have your reasons. I therefore wish you the very best of luck for the future. I am able to say this with absolute sincerity because, as you will see, if you decide to work this plan, I will not receive any financial compensation from you whatsoever. After all, I am sharing this system with you for free. However, remember life is short. Nobody has ever said that you can't have the financial freedom to do what you want to do, when you want to do it. But you must first pay the price. The price here is action; it's as simple as that! I'm very proud to be able to say that I've fulfilled my duty to my wife and children by securing their financial future in a very uncertain world, and I don't believe that any price is too great to pay for such peace of mind. This is the CHEAPEST, FASTEST and EASIEST way to make serious money online - PERIOD! There are a lot of companies out there offering to put you in your own business, but I'm so certain you will make a SERIOUS INCOME with what I am going to tell you that I'm willing to roll up my sleeves and help you begin - RIGHT NOW!! Remember, I am not asking you to send me a single penny for the lucrative business project I am about to share with you. In addition, you will not be asked to buy anything or sacrifice your free time. You will make some fast and easy cash, using just a copy of this page and the simplest and most popular Internet payment system in existence! You have most likely seen or heard about this project on TV programmes such as 20/20 and Oprah Winfrey, or you may have read about it in the Wall Street Journal. If not, here it is below - revealed to you in step-by-step detail. This programme is by no means new. It has been in existence in many forms for at least a decade. But in the early days, it required a lot more time and effort, as well as an outlay of a few hundred pounds. However, thanks to PayPal and the Internet, the outlay is now virtually ZERO! And what's more, the entire process is FASTER, EASIER, and MORE LUCRATIVE than it has EVER been! If you're already running a home business, you can easily do this one along with it. If not, this is the FASTEST and EASIEST way to earn serious money online that you've ever seen so far in the history of the Internet! This programme works no matter what country you are in, or what currency you use. It doesn't matter how old or how young you are. And you certainly won't need any special knowledge or talent. You won't need to run a web site, or make phone calls, or make photocopies, or send out letters through the mail, or pay for advertising, etc. The only things you will need are: 1. An e-mail address 2. A Business PayPal account with at least £3 deposited in it 3. 30 minutes of your time This programme takes just half an hour to set up. After that, there is absolutely no work whatsoever to do on your part. And yet, you will stand to gain many thousands of pounds within the next few weeks from those 30 minutes of easy work! Yes, I know, it sounds too good to be true! I thought exactly the same thing myself until I actually tried it out! Even if you are already involved in another program, stay with it, but do yourself a big favour and DO THIS ONE as well. You have absolutely NOTHING to lose, but you stand to gain a LIFE-CHANGING amount of money within the next few weeks! In fact, there is NO LIMIT to the amount of income you can generate from this one single business programme!! The facts are simple: If you need to make a few thousand pounds REALLY FAST, then this programme is the way to do it! Please be sure to read all of this page . . . take your time, come back to it, go over and over it, you won't be sorry, I can certainly promise you that! If you don't have time to read all of this now, then save this page, or add it to your Favourites list, so you can come back to it later. All you need is a PayPal account and an e-mail address! Just about everyone has heard about "PayPal" (if you haven't you will soon!) and when I came across this concept I knew it would work because, as a member of PayPal, I had already experienced their efficiency and excellent standing. PayPal is the simplest method of making and receiving payments online that anyone has ever seen! Anyone with an e-mail address can join for FREE! Once you have a PayPal account, you can send and receive credit card payments to or from anyone - anywhere in the world! Please read further before you go there... You can complete this whole process within just half an hour and you will NEVER forget the day you decided to do so!!! NEED PROOF? Here are just 3 real testimonials from the countless individuals who decided to invest nothing more than £3 and half an hour of their time to participate in this programme: "What an amazing plan! I followed your instructions just 3 weeks ago, and although I haven't made 10 grand yet, I'm already up to £6,135. I'm absolutely gob smacked." Paul Henson , Leicester "This is Sarah. Well, what can I say?... THANK YOU SO MUCH! I sent 40 e-mail's out like you said and then I just forgot about the whole thing. To be honest, I didn't really think anything would come of it. But when I checked my paypal account a week later, there was over £3,000 in it! After 30 days I now have over £11,000 to spend! I can't thank you enough!" Sarah Bird, Newcastle "I was shocked when I saw how much money came flooding into my paypal account. Within 3 weeks my account balance has ballooned to £7,449. At first I thought there had been some sort of error with my account!" Martin Kinnear , Milton Keynes Just a few months ago, each of these people were doing the same thing as you are at this very moment - reading this! But because they decided to follow the simple instructions given below, they are now considerably better off as a result. And there's no reason whatsoever why you can't share in this success. You've got nothing to lose, and EVERYTHING to gain! Let's get started, just follow the instructions exactly as set out below and then prepare yourself for a HUGE influx of cash over the next 30 days! Here's what you need to do. . . STEP 1 OK, if you're not already a PayPal user, the very first thing you need to do is click on the PayPal link below and SIGN UP. It takes just 2 minutes! Here' s the link below:
https://www.paypal.com/uk/mrb/pal=AMC4VWGV4M3ES
Be sure to use this link so you can sign up for a free PREMIER or BUSINESS account. You'll need to have a PREMIER or BUSINESS account (and not a PERSONAL account) otherwise you won't be able to receive credit card payments from other people. STEP 2 It is an undeniable law of the universe that we must first give in order to receive. So the first thing to do when you have your Business PayPal account is to IMMEDIATELY send a £3 payment from your PayPal account to the FIRST e-mail address in the list below, along with a note saying: "Please add me to your mailing list" Be certain to add this note, as this is what KEEPS THIS PROGRAMME LEGAL. Instructions on how to send a payment are under "SEND MONEY" at the Paypal site. It's so easy!! When you send your £3 payment to the first address in the list, do it with a great big smile on your face because "as you sow, so shall you reap!
"Here's the current list: 1. l_ag2@hotmail.com 2. l6foz@hotmail.com 3 yawa04@hotmail.com 4 Alydia@hotmail.co.uk 5. edwards.ali@gmail.com
After you have transferred a £3 payment to the e-mail address at the top of the list, something very eerie happens. It gives you an indescribable, overwhelming sense of certainty, belief and conviction in the system. You've just proved to yourself that, because you have done it, there must be a great number of other people ready to do exactly the same. Thus you have now seen for yourself, first hand, that this business actually works! STEP 3 Once you've sent a £3 payment to the address at the top of the list (along with your note - this is VERY important!), the next thing you need to do is to obtain a copy of the contents of this page, as you'll be sending it out (as an e-mail message or by advertising your page, like I have done) to at least 40 people (keep in mind that 40 is a good number of people to reach, but with all the different ways of advertising for free on the Internet the amount of views and sign-ups under you could well exceed into the hundreds or thousands if you wish....the more people who join the more profitable for everyone on the list, including you). The copy that you will send out will contain YOUR unique PayPal referral URL and YOUR e-mail address at number 5 in the list - having deleted the address at Number 1 in the list, and moving the others up a position. The easiest way to do this is to: A. Go to the toolbar at the top of the window and select "Edit" and then "Select All". B. Go to the toolbar again and select "Edit" and then "Copy". C. Start (compose) a new e-mail message (PLAIN TEXT so everyone can view it!). D. Fill in your e-mail address and subject line, and then click in the main message area. E. Go to "Edit" and "Paste" to paste the text into your new e-mail message. Now you can edit and format the message text in any way you want! The only thing you need to make sure of is that YOUR e-mail address is at Number 5 in the list in STEP 2. Of course, the address that was previously at Number 1 should have been removed, and the other e-mail addresses should have been moved up a position to accommodate yours at Number 5. As long as you have done this correctly, your e-mail is ready for sending! Be sure to use your e-mail address that is associated with your PayPal account. A word of warning! Don't be tempted to add your e-mail address to position 1 in order to earn money fast! It doesn't work like that! If you do that, you will ONLY reach the people you directly send mails to, and then your address will be immediately removed from the Number 1 place and you won't reach thousands of people! But, if you add your name to the Number 5 position, there will be literally tens of thousands of people receiving and sending emboli's later - when your name is at the Number 1 spot!!! Now you need to edit the PayPal referring URL (shown above in Step 1) with your own PayPal referring URL. You can find YOUR referring URL at PayPal after you join. Just look at the bottom of the first page once you sign into PayPal, and click on the "referrals" link. You will be given a referring URL similar to the one above, except the code number at the end will be different. Simply delete the current PayPal referral URL in Step 1 above, and replace it with your PayPal referral URL. F. Once you've got your e-mail message ready, send out a minimum of 40 copies of the e-mail - but only to people you know, or to people who respond to MLM offers, or to people who've sent YOU offers. By sending this letter and the payment via E-MAIL, the response time is EXTREMELY fast.......... ELECTRONIC TRANSFER INTERNET FAST!!! That's why it takes only a few days for those £3 payments to start flooding into YOUR PayPal account! THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT! The whole process should take you about 30 minutes to complete. BE PREPARED TO GET EXCITED.... YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!! Half an hour of easy work is all that's needed - no capital outlay, no postage stamps, no printing, copying or waiting, and the concept is 100% legal. Within 30 days, over £10,000 cash will pass through your PayPal account. And that's GUARANTEED. In fact, you can expect to receive a substantial number of £3 payments within the first few days! Keep a copy of your e-mail safe so that you can use it again whenever you need more cash! Here's how it works: When you send out your emails, your e-mail address will initially be at Number 5 in the list. That's the best position it can be in at this stage if you want to make serious money. The response-rate for this program is much higher than any typical e-mail marketing campaign for a number of reasons, which are explained later. As long as you send your emails to people who are likely to be interested in this program, on average, you can expect a response from about 25% of the people you send to. But let's be extremely conservative here and assume that you receive an average response rate of only 12.5%. . . If you send out your e-mail to 40 different people, you can expect at least 5 of those people to do exactly what you did (12.5% of 40 = 5). By this time, your e-mail address will have moved up to Number 4 in the list, and this list will now have reached around 200 people (5 x 40). Out of those 200 people, you can expect at least 25 of them to participate (12.5% of 200 = 25), so that's a further 1,000 emails (25 x 40) being sent out and your e-mail address will have risen to Number 3 in the list. Out of those 1,000 people, you can expect at least 125 of them to participate (12.5% of 1,000 = 125), so that's a further 5,000 emails (125 x 40) being sent out with you now at the Number 2 position. Out of those 5,000 people, you can expect at least 625 of them to respond (12.5% of 5,000 = 625), so that's 25,000 emails (625 x 40) being sent out with YOUR ADDRESS at the Number 1 spot! Now, out of those 25,000 people, you can expect around 3,125 of them to respond (12.5% of 25,000 = 3,125). And since you will now be at NUMBER 1 in the list, you will receive: £9,375 (3,125 x £3). So, when your name starts to hit the Number 1 position within the next few days, it will be YOUR turn to collect the money! Over the course of 30 days, this money will be sent to you by a few thousand people just like yourself - who are willing to invest half an hour to receive around £10,000 or more in cash! The first payments will arrive within a few days, and they will continue at the rate of about 100 payments per day for about 30 days. After that time, the volume of payments begins to taper off as your e-mail address vacates the Number 1 position. That's all you need to do! There will be around £10,000 in £3 payments waiting for you in your PayPal account within the next few weeks. £10,000 for just 30 minutes work! This is real money that you can spend on anything you wish! Just deposit it to your own bank account or spend it directly from your PayPal account!!! It's just that easy!!! I think it's WORTH IT, don't you? But there's more!! For each person who signs up with PayPal as a result of using YOUR unique referral URL, you will automatically receive a referral bonus of up to £75 from PayPal! So, you could very easily make an extra few hundred pounds on top of the amount above! Remember, the 12.5% example above is assuming that 35 out of the 40 people you send your e-mail to will do absolutely nothing except delete your e-mail. However, if you follow the plan correctly and send your emails only to people who are likely to want to participate, you can expect a typical response-rate of around 25%. Hence, the 12.5% example is only given as a worst-case-scenario. Additionally, the above example assumes that each participant will only send out 40 emails. Imagine what would happen if each participant sent out 1,000 emails instead of just 40! Believe me, many people will do this and much more! Consider this! Millions of people surf the Internet every single day, all over the world! Plus there are 50,000 new people who get on the Internet every month! The people who send you offers by e-mail can provide you with an excellent source of bulk e-mail addresses to send to. You can also send out mails to all of your family, friends, and to anyone who you think would want to invest £3 and 30 minutes of their time to make a substantial lump sum within a month. If you want to operate this business continuously, you should consider obtaining bulk lists of e-mail addresses from a reputable mailing list company. That's how I've managed to stay in business for the last 2 years! If you already have a legitimate mailing list, then this programme would be the most profitable way to make use of it. There are many web sites that sell thousands of fresh opt-in e-mail addresses of people who have subscribed to receive exactly this type of programme. The possibilities are endless, and it's so easy!
For example, visit: http://www.businessmailing.co.uk http://www.email2success.com
Unlike many other MLM programmes, this 5-LEVEL PROGRAM costs you only £3. That's right, only £3 ONCE, which is much more realistic and provides much, much faster results. Only the first person on the list gets your £3 gift, but everyone in the list will rise to that Number 1 position as thousands of e-mail's are being sent out. No cheating can occur (don't be fooled by claims that this system can be cheated) as Paypal only allows one account per person. Because it is so easy, the response rate is VERY HIGH and VERY FAST - Internet e-mail FAST, and you will start seeing dramatic results in less than one week! JUST IN TIME FOR NEXT MONTH'S BILLS! Remember, you need only mail out 40 copies to start with. This will be enough to generate a substantial lump sum within 30 days. For example, send to personal contacts and reply to people who send their programmes to you, as they are already working on the web. They know these programmes work and they are already believers in the system! This is NOT considered SPAM if you are responding to other people's offers, or sending to friends, family and contacts, or if you are using a legitimate mailing list. So, e-mail your letters out today, and then prepare yourself for a huge influx of cash within the next 30 days!!!
4 factors that make this programme so successful. . . EXTREMELY FAST RESPONSE EXTREMELY HIGH RESPONSE RATE UNLIMITED PROFIT POTENTIAL QUICK, SIMPLE AND CHEAP TO GET STARTED
Because of the VIRTUALLY ZERO INVESTMENT, SPEED, and HIGH PROFIT POTENTIAL, this programme has a VERY HIGH RESPONSE RATE! And all from just a simple email and one simple £3 PayPal transaction! In fact, this programme has faster results and a higher response rate than any other Internet programme you could possibly participate in! For most e-mail marketing campaigns, the average response rate is between 0.5% and 5%. However, this particular programme typically generates a response rate of between 20% and 30%. This is because this programme is so easy to implement, it costs next to nothing, it takes just 30 minutes to implement, and the results can be seen within days. I've been watching this type of MLM programme for years and this is about as easy and fast as you can get it. No stamps, no envelopes, no printed copies to be made - just a little effort and faith!!! This programme really keeps it "short and simple"! UNLIMITED income potential! This programme is structured for everyone to send only 40 e-mail's each to start. However, you are certainly not limited to 40. Send out as many e-mail's as you want. Every 40 e-mail's you send has a return of AT LEAST £10,000 WITHIN 30 DAYS. So, if you can e-mail 50, or 100, or whatever, GO FOR IT! THE MORE YOU PUT INTO IT, THE MORE YOU GET OUT OF IT! However, you MUST remember that sneaking your name higher up on the list will NOT produce the results you think, and it only cheats the other people who have put in the effort and have earned the right to be there. So please, play by the rules and the serious money will come to you! You are probably sceptical of this, especially with all the different programmes out there on the Web, but if you don't try this you will never know. I felt exactly the same as you probably do right now. I wanted to believe but I just couldn't help thinking that there was some sort of catch. But then I realised that I had absolutely nothing to lose. After all, I was only being asked to invest a measly £3, and yet I could earn many thousands of pounds within a month. And all for just half an hour of my time! Therefore I went ahead and did exactly as the e-mail requested. This took me around 30 minutes in total, and I'm so, so, glad I did that!

Please, can someone tell me what became of "Alabama" house up on Chenies Rd.? Suspect now it's a continuation of Rickmansworth Rd.

House was opposite from Chorleywood House.

I lived in Alabama House from August 1964 to August 1965. My dad rented it; it came with a gardener, Jock, who once served The Queen, and a black rabbitt named Charlie. We were Americans from New York, and it was quite unusual for northern Yankees to live in a southern mansion in England.

Hi George,
My mother was born at Chorleywood Bottom 1939, and many other family members lived there included my grandparents and greatgrandparent. I have been looking at my family tree and some of my ancestors were in service at Chorleywood House.
The present Chorleywood House was built in 1898 by Lady Ela Russell who had bought the original Georgian house in 1892. She converted this into a modern Victorian mansion and it was during her ownership that the grounds were laid out in extensive formal gardens with lawns, flower beds and many fine specimen trees. In 1939, after her death, the house and grounds were purchased by Chorleywood Urban District Council as their council offices. The property devolved to Three Rivers District Council in 1974 until the Council transferred to Three Rivers House. Chorleywood House has now been converted into flats but the grounds remain in the ownership of the District Council who are planning what is hoped will be a major restoration of the gardens, parkland and woodlands.
The grounds are open to the public and extend from the A 404 down to the River Chess, providing extensive opportunities for walkers. The grounds also contain public tennis courts and the separate Chorleywood Lawn Tennis Club playing tennis up to County standard on its six floodlit courts. The active Chorleywood Common Youth Football Club also has three pitches and pavilion there and Chorleywood Youth Club meets in premises in the grounds.
Hope this is helpful, always interested to cross reference family names with people who may remeber my family.

Thank you Sharon for the information. Since I posted that question I've talked to my family and now vaguely remember Chorleywood House. I lived at Alabama House for a year, then in Rickmansworth for five years, from 1964 to 1970. I was five when we moved to England.
I remember going to several fetes in and/or around Chorleywood House, and at least one Donkey Derby. My dad would take my brother and I fishing in The River Chess, and it seems we would start our walk near Chorleywood House. Somewhere on the way to the river, there was the only stile I have seen in my life. I've seen countless turnstiles, but this was or maybe still is the only simple stile I have encountered in my life. ... more >>

George,
I have just returned to this site after too long of an absence. I have many wonderful boyhood memories of exactly what you describe. Most every weekday in the summer holidays, me and my mates would walk across the common, through chorleywood House grounds and down to the river Chess where we would go swimming. A short walk upstream to the bridge to a deep part we called the whirlpool where you might catch a pike. I am going back to UK next month to celebrate my Mum's 93rd and I intend to celebrate my own 60th by taking a walk down to the Chess and see if it brings back more memories. I am glad the same people come back to this site once in a while, it brings back memories of a very good childhood. Take care, Ian Mills 9/7/07 ... more >>

That's great you're going back for your Mum's birthday. I think once or twice my dad or brother caught a fish in The Chess, but I never did. We never went swimming, but I do remember drinking the water: it tasted good. Have a good time in England. Regards, George

Hi George,
I took that trip down memory lane last October and it was wonderful. I parked at the cemetary and walked down the path and through the woods to the river Chess. I had a passer-by take my picture for me on the old bridge. Then i walked up to the water works, to the bridge that we used to call the whirlpool. That is where we could catch pike or trout. It was a great afternoon, just me and my past! I hope you get to go back one of these days.

Hello Ian
I'm glad you had a pleasant journey. Walking to the river, we'd climb over a stile, the only one I've seen. Did you see if it was still there? Was the water still clear?

Hi all, I lived at Alabama House in 1961. I was 11 years old.
My father was a USAF officer stationed at S. Rislip (sp). I have many good memories of that year, and I hope to visit there this susmmer with my family. Does anyone know the present owner. I was last there in 2001.
Also, I would appreciate suggestions on a local B&B (not too dear) for the 4 of us. Many thanks, and I will write more when I have a bit more time. --Tom K. ... more >>

Hello Tom:
You lived at Alabama House some three years before I did. I was only five, so my memories are limited. I realized only recently that it was only from the back, with its pillars, that the house looked like a Southern Mansion. The high-ceilinged living room, with the chandelier and bookcased-lined balcony seems gigantic in my memory. Next door was Tennessee House, which had a swimming pool. I don't know if that was there in 1961. I haven't seen the house since 1965. I hope you have a nice visit there.
All the best, George ... more >>

Hi George & all, Tennesee was built in 1961 or '62. It was being built while I lived there. One day our beagle, Cindy, went over there and ate one of the workman's lunch. My mom felt so bad she made lunch for the gentleman. Cindy also was (in)famous for eating the neighbor's 16th birthday cake (again my mom came to the rescue on short notice and baked her another cake), and for chasing the chickens at the farm across the road.
Our gardener was named Flynn, and he had a sidecar motorcycle. He also had a son who helped out sometimes, but I cannot remember his name.
One of my jobs as a boy was to carry the coal ("janitor beans") from the coal shed to the furnace. If I forgot and the fire went out, man did I catch it. I had to take the clinker out of the furnace about once a week also.
One of my fondest memories is of watching the smoke from the steam engine as it went NW out of Chorleywood. I could see this from my room or on the balcony by the pillars. I could not see the train, but I could see the smoke. I was an avid loco spotter in those days and spent a lot of time at Ricky station and other places around London with my spotter books (which I still have!). More later--Tom K. ... more >>

by George Davis (Member 10176726) on 17-Mar-2009
Hello Tom:
I think by 1964 there was a gas furnace; I don't remember coal at all. Our gardener Jock was from Scotland. My dad had to tell us that Jock was one adult that we kids could call by his first name (maybe my dad didn't know his last name!) The black rabbit, which also came with the house, was named Charlie. He lived in a big pen and came with a leash. When we left the house we left Charlie with some neighbors who we suspect ate him.
Take care, George ... more >>

Hi George, You could try North Hill Farm (http://www.northhillfarm.co.uk/booking.htm) which is just on the Chenies Road (where Sarratt Road joins Chenies Road).Or http://www.hertfordshire-bed-breakfast-bb.co.uk/KennelsCottage.html. Or The Rose and Crown at Chorleywood has/had a house next door for weekly rent.
I'm still living in the area and, years ago, saw a photo of Alabama. I couldn't beleive that a design like that existed in Chorleywood!
Chorleywood House has now been made into apartments but you can still walk through the grounds down to the Chess (we used to have bonfires and cook on them, near your whirlpool) and up through to Sarratt. The river is as clear as ever and you'll be pleased to know that children still take their fishing nets there! I also seem to remember a house or farm down there and they had a donkey ( poss about 1970). Get in touch if you come over ... more >>

Hi Eleanor:
Thank you for the information, but it's actually Tom (see above) who plans to go to Chorleywood. It's good to know the Chess hasn't changed much. Alabama House was something. Just like an old film, it had an attic filled with neat old stuff, sort of everything but a penny farthing bicycle! I haven't seen the house since I was six in 1965, so with the years it's become more fantastic.
Take care, George ... more >>

We had another wonderful visit to Alabama this summer. Thank you, Rachel, for your kind invitation.

How would you like to party with the Gods or feel like a God or Goddess ?

You will totally relax as you enjoy divine easy-to-eat food on handy skewers (no cumbersome crockery or cutlery) while sitting on a very comfortable sofa at a low-table or even on a high chair at the sleek bar .
