The Loxwood Ale With The Broadwood Morris Men & Whitethorn Morris
What a weekend that was! Friday to Sunday with glorious weather, camping in the grounds of Loxwood Village Hall and all the organisation of a splendid Morris Dancing tour taken care of by the Broadwood Morris Men.
More than twenty years later I still recall this "Loxwood Ale" as one of the very best occasions on which I led the Whitethorn Band to play for our Morris dancers. I played my 48 button red Hohner accordian and survived the hot sunshine with quantities of beer from this pub - and others too! My wife Elizabeth danced for Whitethorn Morris and we both have lovely memories of the occasion. Somewhere in the archives of our Morris Dancing friends we even have some old video taken of the dancing in the grounds of the Loxwood Village Hall. I particularly remember the hot weather and the local Broadwood Morris Men scattering Tansy stems on the floor of the hall entrance to keep it clean and cool!

Bus Depot Information Request
Does anyone have any photos or information on FH Kilners bus depot Sunbeam buses that was run from my father's land in Guildfod Road, Loxwood in 1942? The bus depot is still standing although old and we often feel a presence and tobacco smoke (not my father's type) in there as if one of the drivers has not left! It was also the old coal supply depot? Any info appreciated as I would love to give my father some bits to hang in his house as part of our local history that should not be forgotten. Regards, Jenny Stark, nee Stone
