Nigel Coates
Having spent the war years serving with the RAF Nigel Coates went on to obtain a History degree at Trinity College, Cambridge. He the spent the next twenty five years teaching English and geography at Hillside.
I always remember him as a kindly and approachable man. He was remembered for his labrador companions of who there seemed to have been several over the years, I am certainly aware of Judy and Sioux and there may have been others.
I recall pleasant evenings when a group of us would gather in his room near the top of the back stairs and discuss putting the world to rights.
His history background resulted in him becoming a founder member of the Godalming Trust in 1965 and he went on to serve for thirty four years with them.
Anyway any article would not be complete without a picture of Nigel without one of his labradors, in this case Judy.
