Weybridge Memories Of Peter Fulton
"I came to Weybridge as a young Australian Engineer on a working holiday in 1962 to work at Vickers, and did so for over three very happy years, married a Weybridge girl at the Methodist Church and later set off across Europe for Australia, arriving some three months later, mid '66. Weybridge Methodist Church
Quite some years later I learnt that my Great Grandfather had come from Crondall Hants as a convict for having stolen a sheep as a farm labourer in 1832 ,and was transported to my home of Tasmania.
I worked at Vickers on the VC10, BAC 111 and Concorde, later becoming a Postman out of the Weybridge Post Office..This gave me a good knowlege of Weybridge, Addlestone, Chertsey and as far out as Chobham Common for a late night (8.00pm) pick up from the letter box outside the F.V.R.D.E.

I lived for a couple of years above the Quadrant in the Wey Hotel, later moving to 2 Holstein Ave, and another address prior to leaving the U.K. for home.
In Australia about 1978 we were asked by an elderly couple a few doors up if we were the young couple who had lived at 2 Holstein as they had lived at 1 Holstein Ave. It brought back the most wonderful memories of Weybridge which have always remained with me as my second home.
 I played Rugby for Vickers and was loaned to Entertainers R.F.C.when they were short of players on a visit to Vickers . Patrons of Entertainers were Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. After all these years I still keep in contact with a fellow Postman. and eagerly try to keep up with news of my second and very dear home, Weybridge."
Peter Fulton.
