Mrs Bullock was a lovely lady, she was very kind, my mother loved her. Does anyone remember my mother? She has passed now, we had very fond memories, my grand mother and grandfather lived here, if anyone can fill in some information I would love that, thank you in advance, Bonnie.

My mother worked here

My mother Mary Henley worked here, and later in 1957 we stayed here after moving back from Canada, I was 4. Mrs Bullock was the proprietor. I wonder where her son and daughter are today.

Family connections.

My late husband's father and uncle owned the grocery shop known as Hook Brothers. This shop was forced to close when Barclays Bank took over the building in the early 1960s. The closure meant that links were severed with noted local residents such as the Mountbatten family at Broadlands.

Snow time

My father was the local postman until he had a serious accident at Middle Wallop. One of my memories of Nether Wallop was him telling me how it had snowed so hard on one occasion that when he delivered mail in School Lane where the wind blew in off the aerodrome he was dropping the mail through the upstairs windows of...

Hampshire Revisited Photographic Memories

Close to the New Forest, Lockerley lies on the River Dun, a tributary of the Test. It was also known as 'the Barge River' for a time. This is a reference to the Salisbury Canal, an ambitious navigation intended to link the cathedral city with Southampton; however, the scheme was never completed. This picture depicts the spacious village green overlooked by... [more]

Hampshire Living Memories

A boy runs across to meet his friend by the large green on the left. Perhaps they are going to meet some more friends and play a game of tag. This pleasant, peaceful and picturesque area has some cottages scattered about and little else. There is a stone church close to the nearby railway line.

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]
