The property was known as Gilda until 3rd March 1975 when the Council formally gave the house its number – giving one week’s notice that the number had to be attached to the property on pain of a fine not exceeding £20 and the prospect that the Council would come and do it instead! It is interesting to note that this letter was addressed to the occupier at Gilda! No mention of the number there.
So things have remained until this millenium. Nothing much is likely to change except a few internal alterations to give a better staircase.
We came to Croft Avenue from Effingham via Bookham, Tarporley in Cheshire, Hungerford in Berkshire, Farnham Common in Buckinghamshire and finally Dorking. We hope that we have done our fair share of moving with the children happily settled at St Joseph’s School with a move to Ashcombe in site for Flora. Anyway, there aren’t many counties left. However, nothing in life is certain!
