Hampshire memories

Flying G Western Riding Ranch

How lovely to find some photographs of The Flying G, but I am surprised that there are no other comments when so many people went there. I went there twice, once in 1966 and again in 1967. 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]

Coxstone Lane.

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.

Ringwood High Street

I rember walking up to the High Street as a small child, there was a shop, I think it was a hardware or ironmongers, at Christmas time the shop was always lit with lovely fairy lights. There was also a supermarket called Pricerights and another shop called Coxs and Hicks which sold a full range of clothes and soft furnishings, wool,... [more]

Walking 3 miles to school

My mum Barbara Wiltshire [nee Pritchard] was brouhgt up here with her 11 brothers and sisters. She is always reminding us that she had to walk 3 miles to school and one of her brothers used to bunk off and hide in the woods until it was time to come home, sadly she has dementia now, which took hold of many...

Emery Down & Swan Green

I have just read about a memory relating to Emery Down Church and it has made me think about my childhood again. My grandparents lived in Northerwood Avenue, Swan Green in Lyndhurst and we regulary stayed there as children. When we stayed with my grandparents we used to have to walk up the hill and visit my great grandmother... [more]

Emery down church

At the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939 I was evacuated to Emery Down from Portsmouth.
I was billeted with a very nice couple who lived in a cottage quite close to the church. The church was the centre of the village community with a thriving congregation and I was soon invited to join the choir, together with the... [more]

The New Forest Inn

The New Forest Inn is rather curiously decorated with wood on the front. This is said to be part of a caravan from which an old woman sold alcoholic drinks before the pub was built.

Extracts From Linwood & Hampshire books

Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Linwood, inspired by Frith photos.

New Forest Photographic Memories

Linwood is situated high on the heathlands of the western edge of the New Forest, overlooking the broad valley of the Avon. It is one of the most isolated villages in the locality; its lonely open road winds across the heart of King William's old hunting territory.

Hampshire Revisited Photographic Memories

Linwood lies over to the western edge of the New Forest, and is surrounded by woodland, heath and plain - as this picture suggests. Despite its popularity, it is quite possible to go for a long walk in the forest and not meet another soul. The word 'forest' conjures up images of wild, uncultivated tracts of land and extensive woodland. In... [more]

Petersfield - A History & Celebration

The cenotaph in the High Street commemorates those who died in battle but whose remains lie elsewhere. It is of unusual and classic appearance; it was designed by the architect Harry Inigo Triggs, who had travelled and studied in Italy. The detailing is borrowed from the eight blank panels in the Medici chapel in Florence; on these panels are carved the names of the town's dead of the First World... [more]
