Memories For A Book About Hurstpierpoint
Hi I am going to take photographs around Hurstpierpoint for a small book. What are your memories? Can anyone recommend places in Hurst that will be good for pictures? Thanks for your time.
Looking For Family.
I have found a photo which was taken in 1962 of a young couple and a baby, all it says on the back of the photo is 'Sid with Gloria and Douglas'. Sid, I take it, is the baby. Then under the names it says 'Your son'. I found this photo in a bible in my uncle's house, his name being Stanley Johnson, who I think is the true father of the baby in the photo. I could be very wrong but I am so curious and excited to find out if I have a cousin. If this jogs a memory in anyone, please get in touch. Many thanks, Anne.
The George Inn - Sarah & Walter Welling
My ancestral relatives are listed in the 1881 Census as the proprietors of "The High Street George Inn" in Henfield.
Walter W Welling (aged 50) and his wife Sarah Ann Welling (nee Smoker and aged 52) were both licensed victuallers and were obviously running a "family" business!
Living with them (all Wellings) were 7 children:
Louis H (7 - scholar), Emma K (11 - scholar), Harold E (16 - pupil teacher), Walter W jnr ( 21 - working in the restaurant), Ada Blanche (17 - barmaid), Alice A (23 - barmaid), Llewellyn G (26 - coal merchant)
and one lodger - Walter Marten (42 - wholesale cabinet maker).
There were many other branches of this Welling family living and working in the area around Henfield, through Poynings, Fulking, Edburton and down to Shoreham and Brighton. More information available.
Memory of Clayton
My parents, Alan & Jennifer Ross, moved to Clayton in 1954 when I was one year old and lived there for the next twenty five years. For most of that period Jack & Jill were owned by Henry Longhurst, a celebrated golf journalist of his time and, since my father was writing about cricket in those days, they knew each other as fellow sports journalists. I remember visiting the windmills as a child and, later in life, when I drove down to Clayton for the weekend, the sight of Jack and Jill on top of the Downs always made my heart lift as I approached the end of the journey. The Longhursts lived in Jack, the black mill and in an attached cottage, as far as I remember, while Jill was pretty much in its original working condition. As you can see from the photograph, Jack did not have sails in those days but in the 1970s a movie called The Black Windmill, starring Michael... Read more
Hassocks Primary School in The 1950s
I was at the school from 1948 until 1955, at which point the 11+ sent me to Hove County Grammar. Starting in 1948 in Miss Wood's class I ended with two years in the top class with Miss Nichols. In between I was taught by Miss Lamper, Mr Kilby, Mr Bennett and Miss Bolter. Mrs Lake was headmistress. There was playground segregation in those days, the front playground in the picture being the junior boys playground. Girls and infants had the two back playgrounds. The picture shows the school after some work has been done to the central frontage. Up to the fifties the two side arches to the main front arch had concrete 'ballastrades' which have been replaced by bricks, which above the main entrance the school name 'Clayton and Keymer CP School' was etched in stone, but in the picture has been replaced by a brick topping to the entrance. Inside, in keeping with the design of victorian schools, those... Read more
Wayfield Cottages
As a child I lived in the cottages opposite the Post Office, we moved when I was around 9 years old and the houses were later pulled down. My memories of living there were very happy and I remember every year standing out front watching the Old Crocs go by. I now live in Hove and work in Crawley so drive past twice a day, and often try to work out exactly where the houses were. Now both my parents have passed on its lovely to see a picture showing the houses, even if it's not close up. We always went to the Post Office to buy our sweets and I remember once a week getting a heart ice cream, a real treat.
My Family
My memory is of going to my granny and grandad Fish, it was a big family of them, I know I have an aunt still there called Valerie Newman (I think) and my aunt Rosemary who had 3 daughters. I would love it if anyone knows them or knew my dad, Richard John Fish. Do get in touch with me as whilst I remember going there it is a very hazy memory.
