This is a very interesting pictures. I contributed the picture of the drive up to Nork House in 1907. In July this year, I visited Nork Park but I could not figure out where this drive was, particularly where it started and where it ended. Can someone supply that information? I could then find these places on Google Earth. I plan to be back in England, and to Nork Park, sometime in the coming year.

CORRECTION: I believe the picture I submitted earlier was taken in 1897, not 1907.

Michael, I have gone back and checked and Christine, who took contributed the photo says, "the picture was taken at the bottom of The Drive which would have led to the right hand side of Nork House. It runs near to the Reigate Road".

I was in Thistle with my brother and sister 1958 -1961 we were the Jacomellis. I have just found the pantomime programme for Snow White and we were all in it.Andrew Jones John and Henry Bannerman Subil and Valerie Willicott Colin Sutton. Spencer Sartell Angels O'rielly and Agnes Zogara are some I remember I absolutely loved it there and was very sad to leave as we went home to a very poor childhood.
