The Junction Of Hogmoor Road And Oakhanger Road Opposite Bolley Avenue
A Memory of Bordon.
On this corner, where there’s now a pair of detached bungalows built, there used to be in the 1960s/70s a purple/red tin building which was called The Penny Cafe. Further down Hogmoor Road was a coach firm run by Mr Brown. He operated the school buses around the villages to take children to Mill Chase, Bordon Junior School in Budds Lane and Bordon Infants School in Station Road. We had chaperones on the school buses - ‘Aunt Betty’ and Mrs Kilburn - likely to keep control of the rowdy children during the journey to and from school. Aunt Betty was a plumpish lady with red lipstick. Further down Hogmoor Road was Red House Caravan site and there was a large white building facing onto Hogmoor Road which was also the shop. A little further down Hogmoor Road were a number of tin bungalows erected after WW1. There were also a couple of tin bungalows erected down Mill Lane by the old Mill Chase School.
