Who was Muriel Alexander? I have a scrapbook that she put together after the 1st World World. I think she was very much involved with organising trips to visit war graves and monuments for families of the fallen. Would be very interested to hear from family or anyone that remembers the family, they lived at the Old Manor, Boldre.

My maternal grandmother and mother were both born in Lymington, my mother attending the grammar school in Brockenhurst (I remember as a small boy her pointing it out to me from the train). In 1944, when the V1 'doodlebugs' started falling, it was decided that my mother, my sister and I should leave our home in London to join my... [more]

Is anyone able to tell me the name of what I presume is a Pub in the photo (just after the thatched cottage) - I am researching my family history and find all my ancestors come from Brockenhurst and the surrounding areas. I would be grateful if anyone was able to enlighten me about this pub name.

I have lived in Everton my whole life. I love the village. I am a respectable citizen of Everton and have lived for nearly 18 years in Frys Lane.
I hope other people enjoy the atmosphere as much as I do.

Having lived at Downton from 1958, I grew up opposite Downton Holiday Camp.
My father owned the builders next to the pub and I bought my first car at the garage 2 doors to the right. Somewhen in the mid 1960s I met the new landlady's daughter, Diane! Well, despite the age gap (I was about 7 and she was 15-ish)... [more]

Who else remembers the smell of that freshly baked bread coming from the bakery here, on the very left of the photo (where the chimneys are)? As I child in the 1960s I would volunteer to go to the bakers and rush home with that hot, freshly baked loaf and devour both crusts.

Extracts From Boldre & Hampshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Boldre, inspired by Frith photos.
New Forest Photographic Memories
Boldre (pronounced Bolder) church stands apart from its village and dates back to the time of the Norman kings. The Poet Laureate Robert Southey married Caroline Bowles here, while the naturalist William Gilpin lies buried in the churchyard. There is a fine memorial to the crew of HMS Hood - sunk by the German pocket battleship Bismarck in 1941.

Hampshire Churches Photographic Memories
Inside this delightful old church is a fascinating model of HMS 'Hood', which sank in 1941 with only three survivors. Visitors might wonder at first glance what the connection is between this church and the fateful warship. In fact, Vice- Admiral Holland, whose flagship it was, was a regular worshipper here. The church enjoys another noted link with the past. William Gilpin became vicar here in 1777, and later wrote several books on natural history.

Petersfield - A History & Celebration
The cenotaph in the High Street commemorates those who died in battle but whose remains lie elsewhere. It is of unusual and classic appearance; it was designed by the architect Harry Inigo Triggs, who had travelled and studied in Italy. The detailing is borrowed from the eight blank panels in the Medici chapel in Florence; on these panels are carved the names of the town's dead of the First World... [more]
