Great memories as a child of visiting Eric and Lilian at Cranford Road and enjoying the hospitality and views from the back garden (we had nothing like that in north London?). Alongside this - a great welcome and always made to feel ‘at home’ and ‘at ease’. The car ride from Tonbridge station to the bungalow in the Rover always thrilled me as a transport-loving little boy! You were always made to feel special when visiting and that is what stays with me now, five decades later. Thank you for that feeling and your friendship to my mum over all those years - I know she valued it - even if she couldn’t be persuaded to move to Tonbridge!
