Granny Green's Shop.

The building in the middle of this photo was the village shop. It was owned by my grandmother, Hilda Green. It seemed to me as a child to sell just about everything I could ever have needed in my life. Granny was also the parcels agent for the Wilts & Dorset Bus Company.

Hampshire Living Memories

This picturesque village featured in Anna Lea Merritt's book 'A Hamlet in Old Hampshire', published in 1902, describing 19th-century village life.

Andover Photographic Memories

A neat Austin Ten is here heading for Newbury. Blount had a horse called Tinker which could be hired to help carts up Hurstbourne Hill. Having reached the top, Tinker would be released and could be relied upon to return to the farm every time.
