I have never heard of this person, although he makes reference to some people, and places in Colden Common I knew. So if anyone who knows him ever comes across this then I have been some help!
COLDEN COMMON?
Oh, yes - I remember it well!
As we get older I guess we must all suffer from nostalgic... [more]

Although I have often E Mailed, and written to the committee of the Football Club I have not had a reply. Therefore I assume they are uninterested in my attempts.
My last memory of Colden Common is going through the village on the way to visit my mother (who lived at Shirrell Heath at the time).
I stopped and... [more]

My memory of Colden Common School, is mainly around the teachers. Mr Wilkie the Head, and Mrs Gundrie (Spelling). Also in my day the toilets were outside (and still standing when I last went by). There was no playing field for the school, we had to go to Colden Common 'Rec on Sports Day. The 'houses' were split on colour lines,... [more]

I remember the year of 1968 well, as it is when I left the village of Colden Common, although my Grandfather and Grandmother still lived there (On Main Road) up until their deaths. Colden Common in my time had no Scout Troop, so I had to go to Twyford to attend Scouts. Often the other boys in 'Common' would laugh at... [more]

Hampshire memories
I was living at Bishopstoke and working as a lad at Cunliff Owen Aircraft during that cold war time winter when a friend that lived in Fair Oak told me that Fishers pond was frozen over and people were skating on it. I managed to borrow a pair of boots with skates on and with my sister and a few mates... [more]

Volunteer was built in 1703 and as far as we can find out, it possibly became a pub in 1840s. It ceased trading in 1973 when it was sold by the brewery to the Gray family. The Grays converted it back into a house.
We bought Volunteer in 2001 and it still looks much the same from the outside.
The... [more]

Jacqueline Jackson, if you read this email me please waxrose@libertyseniorliving.com.au Would your great grandfather be a Harry Hann?

Around Eastleigh including Chandler's Ford, Bishopstoke and Botley Living Memories
This photograph shows a Cessna aircraft as used by the Hampshire Aeroplane Club in front of an early terminal building, with the control tower and a large hangar on the right. Also to be seen on the left ready for action is a rather primitive fire engine.
This is an extract from Around Eastleigh including Chandler's Ford, Bishopstoke and Botley Living Memories.

Around Eastleigh including Chandler's Ford, Bishopstoke and Botley Living Memories
This is a similar picture to E167025, page 17, but this time with a Jersey Airlines plane (a DC4, the workhorse of post-war air transport). Staff are bringing a gangway and a luggage trolley, apparently after the arrival of the aircraft. The original grass runways have been reconstructed in concrete and lengthened to take larger aircraft.

Around Eastleigh including Chandler's Ford, Bishopstoke and Botley Living Memories
Again we see a Jersey Airlines plane, this time being refuelled and prepared for departure. The route from Eastleigh to the Channel Islands was formerly the most popular journey from the airport with 80% of air traffic. That figure is now down to 20% as a result of the introduction of many new national and international routes by other airlines.
