Helen Goldsworthy discovered a historical photograph album belonging to her late husband’s grandmother, Mary Emma Cox, linking their family to Limpsfield’s past. The album, gifted in 1879, features notable local images and reflects Major General Walter Tuckfield Goldsworthy’s military career and involvement in early women’s suffrage advocacy in Britain.
During World War II, British civilians actively supported the war effort by collecting and donating everyday items for military use. This included paper, scrap metal, rubber, and bones for explosives. Salvage campaigns were publicised to emphasise the importance of these contributions, alongside measures like the “Silent Countryside” policy to confuse potential invaders.
On August 18, 1940, nurse J.H. Allen experienced her first day of combat nursing amidst the Battle of Britain. She treated Dunkirk survivors and civilian casualties while witnessing intense air battles. Remarkably, she encountered King George VI during troop reviews. Allen’s experiences deeply shaped her nursing career and provided lasting memories of wartime unity.
