I recently received the note below from longtime MyB&Her Sandra Bohtlingk. So I sent Mouldy our trusty snapper off to get a shot of the nursery of her dreamy childhood memories.

On the left-hand corner of Ditchling Road and Rosehill Terrace is a creamy white house set back. In the late 1940’s this was a children’s nursery where my mother left me on occasions.
I seem to recall the front garden area was a place where we could play on fine days. At that time we lived with my grandparents in Shaftesbury Road.
Well, as you can see – the house is no longer the ‘creamy white’ of Sandra’s childhood reminiscences – but hopefully she is not too disappointed.
Do you remember the nursery? Maybe you went there? You might even remember Sandra. Please share any memories by posting a comment below.

Many thanks Jennifer, and Tony, for bringing this picture to the site. I was very tiny at the time but can still remember something of the place.
Was this nursery open in early 1940’s? My mother had been widowed in 1941 and I believe took the job of matron of a nursery in Ditchling to be able to have her deaf baby daughter with her, aged 3 to 5, my sister then went to Hamilton Lodge School for the deaf?
