Surrey was originally a small village between Purley and Caterham but it's now
just part of a dormitory area for London stretching all the way along the
Caterham Valley. My grandparents moved there in 1930 and we used to visit them
regularly in the 1950s. I took the photos for this panorama around 1954 on a
scruffy box camera, but only got round to stitching them together a few years
ago. You can't reproduce these shots now, as the hill is far too overgrown and
the view is obscured: my picture here shows a similar view to the extreme left of
the panorama. Over the hill on the opposite side of the valley is the site of Kenley Aerodrome, a world War 2 Airfield (where Angels One Five was filmed): I remember powered flights there, and it later became a field for gliders.
