23rd Jan 2017, two archive editors met Ralph Aldridge who kindly allowed them to scan some deeds referring to the sale of a property on the Raymonds Farm Estate.

The witness, as shown on the conveyance,  was a Mr J Bamber,  whose shop used to be in Common Approach, Thundersley.   John Bamber was born in 1872 and by 1939 had retired nearby, to Grandview Drive.

If anyone recalls the shop or Mr Bamber, or has related pictures, we’d be delighted to hear from you.
