TW11 Magazine Awards

WE ALL KNOW that Teddington is a special place to live or work. With safe, leafy streets, great schools, bustling high streets, gorgeous park, Thames vistas... What’s not to like?

But here at TW11 Magazine we are all about celebrating the little things that make a difference, the things that may otherwise be taken for granted or go unsung. So we’re going to take the opportunity to award those endeavours by asking you, the great and good of Teddington, to have your say.

Go to our website to vote in the following categories:

UNSUNG HEROThis award gives you the opportunity to vote for someone who makes a difference by doing an exceptional job... paid or unpaid. Perhaps it’s a teacher who inspires a generation or someone who quietly offers their time and energy to help make life that bit better for the people around them. We want to know about those special people who deserve a little recognition for the positive affect they have on their community.

BEST SUNDAY DINNERYou’ll know if you’ve ever tried to book a Sunday lunchtime meal in Teddington at the last minute that our pubs and restaurants are packed with customers indulging in roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings. There is a great array to choose from, from the traditional to international versions. But which is your favourite, the one most like mum used to make (or perhaps not!)? BEST CUP OF COFFEEBlessed as we are with a plethora of great cafes, we have the luxury problem of deciding which

one makes the best cup of coffee. For those whose day just isn’t started until they’ve had their favourite fix or those who love to sit in a cafe with friends and appreciate that special moment when a fresh cup of coffee arrives. We want to know which one cuts the mustard for you and should be awarded Teddington’s Best Cup of Coffee.

BEST SERVICEWe all know when we’ve had bad service, but it’s easy to forget too quickly when we’ve had great service. Shop keepers who try their utmost to make sure you’re the happiest of customers or tradespeople who meet your expectations and beyond. We want to celebrate the people who offer the type of service that

makes you feel it’s a good day. Now is the time to let us know who you think is deserving of a pat on back for their professional and friendly service.

A Touch of France

IN THE HEART OF bustling Teddington High Street lies the genuinely French Retro Bistrot, where

the roots and flair of its flamboyant proprietor, Vincent Gerbeau, are evident from the menu to the enchanting décor.

Vincent, also the masterful Maitre d’, is a genuine Frenchman although his accent is sometimes mistaken for a classic parody; originally from the Region de Picardie (Chantilly) he harbours a typically patriotic passion for good food and quality wine.

Together with Retro’s new head chef, the very aptly named Francois Fayd’Herbe de Maudave, the pair share an equal enthusiasm for the best of French food. Despite the name, Francois hails from South London and has exceptional experience working in Covent Garden’s famous, and the UK’s oldest, French restaurant, Mon

Plaisir as well as central London hotels The Grosvenor House, The Park Lane and The Savoy.

The ideal combination of great quality food, excellent service and, in

the words of The Good Food Guide ‘all pervading bonhomie’, Retro is a versatile dining experience, from a casual lunch or gentle supper, to a celebratory meal.

‘Our ethos is all about giving customers an exceptional experience, whether it’s a quick lunch, casual supper or a special occasion dinner.’ says Vince. ‘With someone like Francois on board, I know everything we serve will be absolutely top quality, whether it is from our á la carte or fixed price menu.’

Always looking to keep things interesting and fresh, Francois enjoys adapting and revising the Retro menus, especially when it means he can make the most of locally available seasonal ingredients. Although summer is only just behind us, he is already preparing and planning for the coming season with tasty dishes such as foie gras terrine, Pink Lady apple chutney, Muscat jelly and toasted brioche; or two way duck á l’orange, heritage carrots, calno nero, duck confit crêpe; and to finish cherry tart (clafoutis), clotted cream ice cream.

And of course the whole team is looking forward to the forthcoming Rugby World Cup; with the home of English rugby on their door step there will be fierce rivalry between owner, staff and customers - although the complimentary glass of wine being served throughout the tournament

period should help calm pre-match nerves.

The restaurant is also extending its opening hours for the duration of the World Cup, so from Friday 18 September to Sunday 31 October diners can have their ‘taste buds tantalised’ virtually ALL DAY, from 11.30 in the morning to 11 in the evening!

News & Events

To register your interest in attending contact [email protected]

RICHMOND COUNCIL is introducing ‘Village Plans’ across the Borough. The Council will

be working with people and organisations in Teddington from January 2016 to prepare the Plan for this area.

A Village Plan comprises two parts. The first is a formal document, which is known as Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG). This will be a planning framework on which planning applications will be determined. This plan will define the character of parts of Teddington, looking at building features, and identifying opportunities to enhance them. The Council and its consultants will be seeking your thoughts about this formal document in January.

The second part of the Village Plan will be a register of Community projects which could improve the public spaces and services of Teddington. It won’t be possible for everything to be carried out, but the Council will want to look at suggestions.

The Village Plan is a significant opportunity for us all to decide together what we want for Teddington, and to work with the Council and other partners to improve our town now and in the future.

There will be an open meeting to share ideas on the upcoming Village Plans at the Landmark Arts Centre on Monday 12th October at 6.30pm. There will be a maximum of 220 people able to attend.

Have Your Say in the Village Plan

UNIQUENESS IS A TRICKY QUALITY to create, but it is what we aspire to have in our homes

– that feeling of a truly individual space that reflects our interests and taste. Pinterest boards and stunning interiors on Houzz.com have made us a little spoilt for choice. A material that has

infinite possibilities and can be used to create architecturally breathtaking spaces, sculptural and functional elements and also stunning interior features, is glass. Architects have

been using glass to create ground breaking buildings since Joseph Paxton designed Crystal Palace for the great exhibition of 1851.

Traditional stained glass processes can be used with a modern twist to create furniture pieces such as this beautiful screen or entranceways/feature walls.

Glass can be used architecturally to contrast the old and the new visually emphasising the difference. It is also very useful where separation is required but the view and space do not need to be contained.

A bespoke glass fronted walk in fridge is a unique piece. It adds an element of luxury to the most mundane of appliances.

A large picture window is an innovative interpretation of the typical dormer loft extension. It allows more light into the room, and creates an architectural feature for the home.

Architectural glazing now comes with all sorts of useful characteristics. Heated glass and glass radiators can be used to provide an invisible or elegant heat source.

Solar controlled glass such as Pilkington Sun Cool allows light in but reflects heat out. Essential when designing contemporary glass extensions. Self cleaning glass has a surface that repels dirt and allows the rain to wash it away. Great for rooflights and glass extensions.

Optiwhite is extra clear glass that allows more light transmission than standard glass so will bring more natural light into your interior.

Switchable smart glass is great for entrance halls and bathrooms, at the touch of a switch a clear glass wall becomes opaque and your stunning view out

by day, can turn into an intimate space at night.

IN THE EARLY PART OF 1838 John David Collis, his wife Mary and their children Jane, Mary S

and Thomas moved out of the family home in Newington, where John had a grocery business in Dorset Street, and came to make a new home in Teddington. They moved into a bakery shop with living accommodation, in American Buildings, 5 Broad Street, next to the Britannia beer house. Just why they came here, we do not know but it may have had something to do with John’s health and was possibly a reason for them to seek a healthier climate to that of the inner city. Mary was pregnant and gave birth to their fourth child, Robert, on 5th February. A fifth child – Sarah Emma – followed on 29th April 1840. Life seemed to be moving along smoothly until the following April when John died at the relatively young age of 32. He was buried in St Mary’s churchyard on 18th April 1841 (the cemetery did not open until 1879).

Mary seems to have adjusted to this early tragedy although she was only 30 herself, and continued to run the grocer’s shop and bring up her five children. Her eldest daughter, Jane, went into the business alongside her and in the 1851 census, both Jane and Mary are shown as ‘grocers.’ The second daughter, Mary S, seems to have gone to live with Mary’s brother and wife in Lambeth but by 1851 she had returned to Teddington where she was a domestic servant, living at the home of the curate, Alfred Wilkinson, in the High Street. By 1846, the business had become a grocers and Mary had added the term of ‘cheesemonger’ to her profession. The business of grocer often incorporated the work of the post office and we see Mary Collis described as Postmistress and Jane Collis described as Sub-postmistress of Broad Street, Teddington.

1861 saw some significant family changes. Mary senior and Jane were still running the grocers and post office in the Broad Street; Mary S and Sarah were both teaching at the Carlton Girls School in Lindrick, Nottingham; Thomas had emigrated to try his luck in New York and Robert had moved back to Kennington where he was teaching.

Having gained some educational experience, Sarah returned to Teddington and opened the Park Road Girls School at 31/33 Park Road in 1865. This had modest beginnings and starting with only 16 girls but rising to 71 by the end of that year. Miss Jane Collis lent a hand by becoming a Sunday School teacher there. This venture was successful and in 1867, larger premises were required and the school moved to Station Road. There is a reference to boys being admitted to the school in 1871 but there is no other reference to boys; indeed all advertising for the school until long into the future declares that it is a ‘School for Girls and Infants.’

There is some conflict as to the size of the school; one directory claims they had 318 pupils in 1875 whereas another in 1882 states a capacity of 250 with an average attendance of 179. Whatever the number, the school continued to prosper and in 1885, Sarah’s niece – Mary Jane – joined the school as an assistant mistress. By 1890 the school had been enlarged and the capacity had increased to 400 with an average attendance of 300. 1899 reveals that Sarah was assisted by Mary Jane and seven others. 1902 saw the school renamed the Station Road Day School for Girls and Infants with a capacity of 440 and an average of 400.

Meanwhile, at the grocer’s store, Mary and Jane continued to run their business efficiently and successfully. The addition of Post Office was clearly a prestige appointment and something to be cherished. Mary showed no signs of slowing down and in 1890, at age 80, she is

still shown as Postmistress. She died in 1893, presumably without having retired, and is buried in Teddington Cemetery. Jane then took over the running of the business and herself became Postmistress for Upper Teddington. She did retire from her post in 1899, having probably worked there since the death of her father, giving her a 58 year career. She stayed in Teddington and died in 1913, joining her mother in the family plot in the cemetery.

At some point between 1891 and 1901, probably in 1899 and certainly after Mary Jane had joined the family in 1885, the two sisters, Jane and Sarah moved dwellings to ‘Coleraine’ 15 Victoria Road, a road leading to the railway station. For a time they employed a servant; presumably this was whilst they were all working.

In 1906, Sarah Emma Collis retired from the school she had founded forty one years earlier but the family connection remained as Mary Jane

took over the headship. Sarah continued to live at ‘Coleraine’ until her death in 1917. She is also buried in the family plot in the cemetery. In the true family tradition, Mary Jane continued to run the school until her own retirement in September 1928. She died in 1930 and was buried in the cemetery. Within the same plot is her sister, Annie Sarah, who died in 1933. It is believed that Annie came to join Mary on the death of Sarah and stayed in Teddington.

As any good Teddingtonian will tell you, the school went from strength to strength. In 1937 the school was renamed Christchurch County Primary School and then, having due regard to the founders and the esteem with which they are still held, the name changed again to Collis Primary School.

1965 saw the school’s centenary and in 1972 it moved to its present location in Fairfax Road. The old building was in use as a teachers’ centre for some time and is now an Asquith children’s day nursery. Now in 2015 the school is celebrating its 150th anniversary and in the light of what has gone before, it will celebrate many more to come.

Sadly, with no living relative nearby, the graves in the cemetery look a little neglected. A poor testament to a remarkable family of ladies who in nearly 100 years gave so much public service to the town of Teddington.

IT’S BEEN A BUSY summer for Surrey

and south west London dog crèche, Bruce’s Doggy Day Care.

Following hot on the heels of its mostrecent accolade at the Toast of SurreyBusiness Awards, the company announcedthe opening of a brand new purpose-builtcentre. Designed to cater for a growingdemand for its services and address alengthy waiting list.

Like its flagship site in Cobham, the new Bruce’s Doggy Day Care centre is conveniently situated just off the A3 in the village of Ripley, allowing for easy access to its London and Surrey customers. The brand new purpose-built Ripley site sits in acres of lush private countryside with fenced fields, swimming pools, agility courses, trampolines, heated indoor areas and gazebos, and a fully equipped dog grooming salon.

NEW CATCHMENT AREASThe business has gone from strength to strength over the past year and is rightly proud of the market-leading service it provides for each and every dog. This has led to many word-of-mouth recommendations and a growing waiting list. The opening of the new Ripley day care centre means it will now be able to accept dogs from Teddington and Twickenham.

‘Teddington and Twickenham are core areas

for us,’ says founder and director Bruce Casalis. ‘And we look forward to welcoming lots of new dogs to the Bruce’s Doggy Day Care fold.’

EXCITING TIMESAs well as expanding its day care centres, the business has also recently launched a new mobile-friendly website. Bruce Casalis adds: ‘These are very exciting times for the business. Since the beginning of 2015 we’ve celebrated our sixth birthday, won our third business award in less than a year, recruited lots of new staff, rebranded, and opened a second site. I’d like to thank all our loyal customers for their support and our fabulous four-legged friends for being great clients!’

Bruce’s Doggy Day Care currently offers half and full day care for around 100 dogs, collected from 30 locations across Surrey and south west London. Other services offered include dog boarding and pet sitting, puppy care and socialisation, and grooming.

Councillor’s Update

road and remains of it are still there below the surface. This seemed to present no problem to the evergreen shrubs formerly on the site. Unfortunately after the new planting was put in last year the very wet winter leached away nutrients in the soil and the near-drought conditions in late Spring and June have not helped. Efforts are being made to improve the situation. Elsewhere in the Gardens the Great War Poppy Sculpture has been installed – slightly Tenniel-like in appearance.

Finally on the planning front an application has been submitted (15/3072/FUL) for the former Christ Church in Station Road (recently on the brink of demolition) to be saved by conversion into six two-bed residential units, with the tower completed to accommodate a lift and dormers and velux windows in the main and side aisle roofs.

SOME POTENTIALLY GOOD NEWS – recently Transport for London reported that when they

re-tender the 481 bus service in May a half-hourly frequency is one of the options bus operators will be invited to quote for. So fingers crossed that we might at last get a doubling of the service.

Less good news about Teddington station. We are promised lifts within the next four years but the Department for Transport has not yet released funds for even preliminary design work. Twickenham, Whitton and Barnes are ahead of us in the queue. A disabled friendly entrance door has received planning permission so I hope we see that soon as the present door is awkward to use. The other news is that the station is to be designated a Cycle Hub. This may entail a double height cycle store – good news in itself but I am worried about its appearance and have alerted the planners – one difficulty is that South West Trains claim it is exempt from planning control.

The photograph shows the results of some savage pruning of lime trees in Waldegrave Park

but the same thing has happened all over Teddington and beyond. The trees have been slow to recover and may not all do so. There will also be a lot of new growth at the base to remove. I have yet to get a satisfactory explanation from the Council why

the new arboricultural contractors have reverted to past bad practice.

In Elmfield House gardens the new herbaceous planting has been very attractive this summer but some of the plants and the box hedging are showing signs of distress. Older residents will remember that when the Gardens were created in 1990 part of the land had been a slip
