Below are a collection of pictures of West Farleigh from days gone by...

   There used to be a pond on Smiths Hill as the road bends left to go to Yalding. Not a suprise it floods today!

                               The Chequers aka The Tickled Trout

The Home Guard, West Farleigh, led by Squadron Leader Patrick Devenish

                                                                                   Farmworkers (Jack Martin far right)

In 1968 West Farleigh held a monthly series of fete's. Here is the programme for one. The games were hilarious. Imagine what happened if you didn't cleanly catch a bag of flour!

 

The facilities were first class, including

care for toddlers AND thier vehicles!
