Dad was born here
Dad was born at 25 Station Road in 1927, and his Dad had his own business there, G Budd & Sons. When Grandad passed away, and Nan a few years later, Dad bought the house, with 'the yard' behind and carried on the business, which was a building firm. Dad's brothers also worked for the firm. Dad was painter and decorator, Uncle David a brickie and Uncle John a carpenter.

Little Black Houses
This is where our godmother used to live. Her name was Fona, a really lovely lady, we'll always remember her. I was born here in the same little black house that Fona lived in, (she used to live next door, but moved into our house when we moved to Saville Crescent in Bordon). I don't remember Headley Down when I lived there as I was very young when we moved, but when I was older my elder sister used to take me there on a bus from Bordon, always on a Saturday. Fona would take us blackberry picking and we would play in the large back garden for hours. I remember there were loads of fir trees and the houses seemed ...read more here

I CAN REMEMBER THE FISHING AT WAGGONERS WELLS, THERE WAS 4 OF US MY BROTHER AND I AND TWO FRIENDS WE USED TO FISH THE THIRD LAKE SOMETIMES WE WOULD STAY OVERNIGHT ALTHOUGH I DONT THINK YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO.
I CAN ALSO REMEMBER AN OLD GENTLEMAN IN A FLAT CAP NOT SURE WHO HE WAS OR WHAT HIS JOB WAS (BAILIFF PERHAPS ?) OR DID HE LIVE IN THE TEA SHOP PAST THE THIRD LAKE NOT SURE. I HAVEN'T BEEN THERE FOR YEARS AS I NOW LIVE IN NORTH OXFORDSHIRE BUT DO INTEND TO VIST VERY SOON.
DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHO THIS GENTLEMAN WAS ?

Bordon
This was a lovely quiet village when I first came here. Unfortunately, it is becoming run down and untidy. Pity, really. We seem to be having all the throw outs from other places. When the army goes (if they go), this will be a dumping ground for all types of undesireables.

Extracts From Bramshott & Hampshire books
E J Beach, Proprietor,
boldly announces the
board above the pony
and trap, apparently
hired for a drive during
one of those Edwardian
summers that never
seemed to end.
An extract from from"Petersfield Then and Now Photographic Memories".
Rose growers in these villages must have benefitted from passing horses if the state of this road is anything to go by! This is
all part of the country life that has surrounded Petersfield for centuries; may it always be so.
An extract from from"Petersfield Then and Now Photographic Memories".
Is the woman in
the top window
cleaning it or simply
determined to be in
the photograph? The
one-time butcher’s
shop was, at the time
of this photograph, an
antiques shop. It would
have been known to
H G Wells when he was
a boy at the nearby
stately home, Uppark.
An extract from from"Petersfield Then and Now Photographic Memories".
Familiar to many, the
church nestles in the
shelter of the South Downs.
Large horse chestnuts now
break the roof line but the
cottages still lie tranquil
within the church’s reach.
H G Wells walked from
Portsmouth to Harting to
meet his mother coming
from this church.
An extract from from"Petersfield Then and Now Photographic Memories".
The flagpole still stands guard over the War Memorial and the flag is flown on appropriate
occasions. The thatch has been removed from one of the cottages and the little wicket gate
next to the road has been removed for safety reasons. You can still see the line of the gate in
the brickwork.
