Normandy, Surrey, Willey Green c1912
Normandy, Surrey, Willey Green circa 1912. Normandy is a small village in the west of Surrey. In this postcard by W. H. Applebee the publisher has written the caption as Willow Green. The correct name is Willey Green. In the distance we can see the Duke of Normandy pub and before that the store owned by Walter Rolph. On the extreme left is a shop run by Edwin Cranstone. Information for this post has been gathered from the Normandy Historians website. Click the picture to enlarge.
