The pig farm in Chessington

“I don’t know how many residents would remember the pig farm in Chessington. It was on the ground I now believe is Woodland Walk, just past the William Bourne (Bonesgate). When I was a child in the 50s, my dad and I used to go on a Sunday morning to feed the pigs. Then they opened a shop on that site which sold pork and sausages known as Porky Whites. My own children would stand at the back door and watch the butcher making the sausages. Many happy memories of the good old days.”
