| 12 |  | Loelia Ponsonby's book of photographic memories. A fascinating glimpse into the lives of the privileged. Pictured with (among many others) Errol Flynn and Ian Fleming (in fact, James Bond's secretary, in the books, was named Loelia Ponsonby!) | |
| 13 |  | Alfred Collins photographed in 1915. Killed in France on 26 April 1917. I added this (and the following one) on 11th. November 2020. I was thinking of him at 11 o'clock this morning. | |

| 18 |  | 65 High Street, Egham Clarke's butcher's shop was here from 1877 until 1998. The front wall (which is NOT as it was in 1877!) is listed so it is all that remains.

Also had premises at 67, High Street (now demolished), from c1946 to 1956, and 72, High Street from c1945 to 1993. | |

| 22 |  | Christmas card from Aunt Dulce Dulce Dickinson was a great genealogist. In the late '40s she gave a handwritten book of the history of the Dickinson / Lean families to her great nephew, Michael Dickinson Lean. This was an unbelievable help to me in my research and, although some of it was wrong, it was incredible how much correct information she got in the days before the internet etc. I, obviously, never met her but she has a special place in my heart! | |
| 23 |  | Detail of 65, High Street, Egham | |
| 24 |  | Ethel Taylor Married late in life and, some years after her death (we didn't know) our nephew wrote to her last known address and got a reply from her widower! We visited him and had a very pleasant afternoon, getting lots of first hand information. Sadly, not too many years afterwards, our Christmas card received a reply from his solicitors notifying us of his death. Why, oh why, didn't I take a photo of John Lockett when we met him? | |

| 30 |  | Uncle George, Aunt Phil and Brian | |
