“I’m nearly 87 and moved into my house in Gilders Road at the age of 3 months! I was educated in Chessington, did my National Service, married and farmed the land behind Gilders Road. My father was awarded the Military Medal in WW1, and my mother was a wartime nurse. I remember the underground air raid shelter on Copt Gilders. I am a member of the Royal British Legion and still attend annual reunions of his regiment, the East Surrey’s.”
Dennis, Chessington resident
