Hampshire memories

The Farnborough Puddle

I used to love The Puddle, I used to go there every weekend during term time from when it opened at Easter every year, until in closed in October. I would try to go every day during the summer holidays, but I didn't always have the money to get in, I would plead with my mum to give me the money to go, I used to do odd jobs to earn some money to go. I remember one day I went and it was throwing it down with rain, and that didn't stop me from going, while I was swimming it started thundering and lighting and the owners made everyone get out the water, I did but reluctantly. The changing rooms there were very cold and after finishing swimming it was freezing to get dressed, I used to get dressed as quick as possible, probably didn't dry myself properly as I was so cold. Getting into the water was a challenge as well, as the water wasn't heated. The temperature used to... Read more

Osborne Road is where my Father was brought up in the 1930s. This street was very close to the Royal Aircraft Establishment and this generated my Dad's great interest in aeroplanes and flight. He was later to join the RAF and served during the Second World War.

As a young child, I remember feeling so scared as I walked passed the Elephant and Castle pub, as often there would stand an old man in a long black coat and a black hat, and he would very slowly shake his finger at me.Whether it was just me or any child, I never knew, but it used to frighten the life out of me!

My Life at Aldershot

North Camp, Connaught Hospital 1903
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

We moved to Aldershot in 1964, me and my 2 sisters went to school at East End infants then juniors school which is now all boarded up. I had a good mate who lived up the road from me, Stephen Watts, went to school at St.Michael's. I watched loads of Aldershot FC matches and I still follow the shots today. Dad once took me to the Cambridge military hospital to get my head stiched after a fall, afterwards he bought me a huge bar of chocolate from the off sales at The Heros pub for being brave. Whilst at East End school we went on TV, appearing on Songs of Praise, we rehearsed the songs with Mr Turnoff our music teacher. Other people in my class in the late 1960s were Steve Marshall, Steve Ormarod, Peter Mcmahon, his mum worked as a dinner lady, Keith Willis, Stuart Keenan, Tanya Godwin, Debbie Hales, Sandra Lynch who lived up my road, Sally Ann Freer who was my dancing partner.

Roman Camp

My dad was a Sgt in the medical corp, I was about 12/13 at the time, and we lived on an upper story of a maisonette, I suppose they were called, in Jerome Square. I have memories of "the Jerome Square gang" doing raiding parties to the McCadam Square bonfire to take wood for our fire for Nov 5th. Playing in the air raid shelters in the center of the Squareand playing at Caesar's Camp where there was a tunnel which nobody had the nerve to enter. I used to go to the Ritz Cinema Saturday morning matinees, and sometimes going to the Odeon under cover as I was in "the Ritz gang". We got posted to Hanover for a short while, and came back to live in a bungalow with a large garden in Fleet, where I went to a old school, and then transferred to a new one that had just been built.
