Gliding at Lasham with the 3rd East Kilbride Scouts
While I was the Scout Leader with the 3rd East Kilbride Scout Troop in the 1970s several of my scouts became interested in flying. After several sessions of model building we decided we needed to do some flying with real planes so I arranged a trip to Lasham Airfield in Hampshire, which was a very big adventure for young teenagers living...

Hampshire memories
I was diagnosed with Scoliosis and spent 3 weeks on the children's ward. I met lots of friends and the nursing staff were great. When we heard it was to close down my family and I went to fund-raises but unfortunately it still closed. My husband and I recently went to Alton and when we got to the area where the... [more]

My mother was the Health Visitor for Alton from 1949 until 1972 and I had many memories of Lord Mayor Treloars, both in and out, since I was a patient in April 1955. We also knew the doctors, Evans, and I think Caine was the accountant for the hospital. The grounds were very beautiful and it had that huge verandah in... [more]

Alton High Street, Tobaconist - A Jones
I was born at Southbrook, Lenten Street in 1949. Father ran a shop called A Jones Tobacconist on High Street, which had earlier been my grandfather's (Arthur Jones - known as Jack). I went to school at Mayfield, opposite Anstey Park. I moved to Devon in 1959 and now live in Sweden, so have no modern memories of Alton. Has anybody... [more]

I was in hospital from January 1963 for 6 months to have my right leg stretched, it didn't totally work, but it was in 1966/1967 when I had to have several operations for the other leg. Although it was my first time away from home everyone seemed to help each other. The snow drifts didn't bother anyone much, the Solent had... [more]

I was in hospital for two and a half years, I made lots of friends there. There were three girls I remember, one was Pat Davis, she had TB just like me, Susan Burgess was another and Evonne la Page was the other one. If anyone knows anything about them I would love to know. My surname was Braybrook and like... [more]

I was put in Treloars as a last attempt to cure my Lupus Vulgaris, and have many happy memories of the staff and the lads in with me, alas the only names I can recall are John Tissington and David Doe. Woud love to hear from anyone remembering me, regards, Ernie.

Very Fond Memories of LMTOH Ward 5
I was in St Giles Hospital, Camberwell, and was transferred to Lord Mayor Treloars Orphopaedic Hospital, Alton because the surgeon was a good friend of the main Consultant Surgeon at Alton who was, I think Mr Catterell. Apparently my problem was very difficult to diagnose, and it was only when I was operated on that the full extent of damage was... [more]

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.

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.
