The first time I was studying at St Godric's in London and Maureen Smith was going there in the holidays. She was a very... [more]

I was born in a bungalow on the corner of Coxstone Lane in 1962 and my nanny lived in a thatched cottage called Brookside in Coxstone Lane. I had some very dear friends on that lane, I would love to know what happened to them all.

I loved this charming village, I remember the 'fishmonger' and the 'greengrocer' bringing their wares from door to door with their 'horsedrawn' carts (yes, even in 1956). I used to walk her dog with auntie Joan to this very post office to mail letters and get 'bits and pieces". Auntie Joan always loved the small country places, she... [more]

The Post Office brings back many happy memories. In 1954 to 1957 I served in the RAF at Sopley. Some of us would walk to the Post Office to send letters home & meet friends we had made in the village. If anyone remembers the good times we had...

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]

Extracts From Ibsley & Hampshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Ibsley, inspired by Frith photos.
New Forest Photographic Memories
The bridge over the River Avon at Ibsley, with its white water weir, wildfowl and waterside scenery, is a good place to halt if you are following that lovely river up from the sea. Napoleonic prisoners-of-war planted an avenue of elm trees here, which survived until the devastation of 20th-century road widening.

Former inhabitants of Ibsley must have been generous souls. Early church registers reveal that collections were made 'towards the redemption of the poor slaves out of Turkey', 'for the redemption of all captives' and 'for the distressed Protestants beyond the sea'.

Thatch and timber buildings such as the one in this photograph are not an uncommon sight in Ibsley. There is a small brick church here, as well as a stone bridge over the river to Harbridge. Not far away is Moyles Court, a school, and between here and Ibsley there are some lakes.
