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.

Hampshire memories
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.

Extracts From Brockenhurst & Hampshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Brockenhurst, inspired by Frith photos.
New Forest Photographic Memories
Near to the village are the extensive grounds of Brockenhurst Park, the home of the Morant family until well into the last century. Nine hundred years earlier the estate was held by the Spelman family on condition that they provided a bed for the king and hay for his horse if he visited Brockenhurst.

Hampshire Photographic Memories
The name Brockenhurst means 'the badger's wood'. The local churchyard includes a famous, intricately carved monument to 'Brusher' Mills, a renowned local snake catcher who died about 50 years before this photograph was taken. He earned his nickname by sweeping loose snow off the ice on Brockenhurst pond to make it easier for skaters.

New Forest Photographic Memories
The village of Brockenhurst lies in one of the most attractive parts of the New Forest, and many of its cottages are of considerable antiquity. Given the ease of access by car and train, it makes an excellent centre for an exploration of the southern half of the Forest.
