Buckinghamshire memories
As A Kid
My parents were from the area, Dad from Bryants Botom, Mum from Gt Hamden. They shifted to New Zealand straight after they were married, leaving all friends and family behind. Mum always talks about Chequers. As kids, me and my two sisters were lucky enough to visit and school for a while, me at Kingshill, Sally at Hamden School, and I'm not sure where Jane went. I remember it was a drought year and also lots of snow, sounds crazy, we had days off school because of the snow, the woods around Hampden were white. Dad worked at his brother's mushroom farm, we would play in the woods behind Dad's mum's place in Bryants Bottom, looking back it was the most awesome time for me as a 9 or 10 year old. We went back to New Zealand whre we live, I have lots of family in Prestwood, Speen, and around the area.
Pednor Riding Stables
I learned to ride at Pednor stables, run by Hilary with help from her husband. They had a motley but extremely well cared-for string of horses, which grew all the time. My favourite was a 4-yr-old exmoore called Kerry, who was sold and kept on ther in livery. Bubbles was cream with wall eyes...anyone remember the others?
Hilary has always been an inspiration and although I have not followed in her footsetps, latish in life I have begun to work with horses
Childhood
My memory of Little Kingshill: I went to live with my aunty and uncle Mr and Mrs Kitchener in Ashwell Farm Cottage. My uncle worked up on Ashwell Farm. I used to sit out in my pram eating a bowl of veg. I went to Little Kingshill Schol, I loved it. Also I remember Daphne Heather in Heather's store. I remember Mrs Busswell, head of the school, also giving myself the best black eye ever by walking into a door at school. I would love to hear from anyone with more memories. EILEEN NEWTON
The Sound of The Siren.
I can remember walking along Sycamore Road with my mother. It seemed to me that the siren on the corner always sounded when we walked past the Regent Cinema. It was the old air-raid siren, but, by this time, it was used to call out the fire brigade. I can recall walking underneath the two trees in this picture. When they were finally felled, they were found to be rotten to the core. The church and the small tin hall were demolished, I believe. There is a modern church on this same site today. The Regent is a supermarket. My aunties were cinema usherettes.
Hill Family From Chesham
I am trying to trace the Hill family from Chesham. William Hill and wife Maria lived at 90 Severalls Avenue, Chesham in the 1919 census, and their son. I do know Ernest Hill was living in Lye Green in 1911 and he was a fishmonger. It would be great if anyone has any info for me.
Many thanks.
Death at The Station - 1907
My Great Grandfather reportedly died at Chesham Station on 22 November 1907. His name was Ambrose Miller Hooper. Does any one know any more? He used to live at 'Hatch, Northwood'
Some More News on The Above Family
Just to add more to the above, William and Ernest had siblings - Gertrude, Julie, Charlie, Lily, Leonard and Ada. Would love some info on this family..
