I stayed at Twin Oaks one night in October 2008. I arrived very late after escaping from some motorway works madness, but my hostess was very welcoming and supportive. She explained that the twin oak at the front of the building is much admired, especially by the Francis Frith company photographer when this photo was taken. I was visiting because my... [more]

The policeman seen standing on duty outside the public house has been indentified as PC 65 H R Hood. He was the village 'Copper', spending 15 years of his service in Cadnam. This was a favourite traffic duty spot in those days, as this was the main crossroads of the Southampton to Bournemouth and the Winchester to Lymington highways. Even though... [more]

Came to Minstead for a weeks break to help my wife rest and recover from breast cancer.
Stayed in a very nice thatched cottage.
We live in a village in Saddleworth that is beautiful, but Minstead the village the people and most of all the church just made it so nice.
Just to sit in the garden of the Minstead cottage... [more]

I grew up in Old Calmore at Croft Farm. My parents, Cyril and Winifred Pass, bought the property when they returned from India in 1947, and we lived in the 'pump house' until the bungalow was built in 1949. My earliest clear memory was moving in on my third birthday, carrying the pots and pans up through the field on that... [more]

Does anyone else remember old Mr Brown who lived up the lane from St Anne's Church? He couldn't read or write. He had a cow that followed him about. He'd never been to Southampton even though it was only 7 miles away. He used to sit outside his front gate in the sunshine and wave his walking stick at passing traffic.... [more]

I have just read about a memory relating to Emery Down Church and it has made me think about my childhood again. My grandparents lived in Northerwood Avenue, Swan Green in Lyndhurst and we regulary stayed there as children. When we stayed with my grandparents we used to have to walk up the hill and visit my great grandmother... [more]

At the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939 I was evacuated to Emery Down from Portsmouth.
I was billeted with a very nice couple who lived in a cottage quite close to the church. The church was the centre of the village community with a thriving congregation and I was soon invited to join the choir, together with the... [more]

Extracts From Cadnam & Hampshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Cadnam, inspired by Frith photos.
New Forest Photographic Memories
Cadnam, or Cadenham, stands at an important road junction at the north-western corner of the New Forest; sooner or later every traveller in the locality is bound to pass through the village. The site would have been well-known two thousand years ago - a Roman road ran nearby.

Hampshire Revisited Photographic Memories
Cadnam is one of the best-known villages in the New Forest. Most people know it as being at the end of the M27 motorway where it joins the A31 - in a sense, it is the gateway to the forest. Long before the motorway was built, this is what Cadnam looked like. Note Hawthorn Cottage on the right, which serves teas... [more]

A charming village scene that has scarcely changed at all in over 30 years.The old war-time nissen hut, at one time such a familiar sight in the British countryside, has gone, replaced by a car park and children's playground, and the thatched cottages have been renovated and re-thatched.
