Buckinghamshire memories
Nine Yrear Old Eyes
I remember the blacksmith's and his forge just along from the pub (The Swan I think? - could be wrong),also the wild raspberries, red and white, growing on the common across the road from the pub. I spent about one day in the school there in 1948-1950 and cried so much they had to send me home. I went to Cubs a couple of times at the top of Jasons Hill but hated that too, I was very insecure as were a lot of us kids just after the war. We lived at New House Farm.
Hill Family From Chesham
I am trying to trace the Hill family from Chesham. William Hill and wife Maria lived at 90 Severalls Avenue, Chesham in the 1919 census, and their son. I do know Ernest Hill was living in Lye Green in 1911 and he was a fishmonger. It would be great if anyone has any info for me.
Many thanks.
Death at The Station - 1907
My Great Grandfather reportedly died at Chesham Station on 22 November 1907. His name was Ambrose Miller Hooper. Does any one know any more? He used to live at 'Hatch, Northwood'
Some More News on The Above Family
Just to add more to the above, William and Ernest had siblings - Gertrude, Julie, Charlie, Lily, Leonard and Ada. Would love some info on this family..
The School on The Corner
I clearly remember the school at Whelpley Hill and detouring on my way there to see an aircraft straddling the roar, fuel dripping from its engines and the flight crew washing their hands in the dripping petrol. Another time there was a Danish plane full of cherries in the road and the locals were helping themselves to the plunder. It was common in those times to see planes in the paddock or across the road and of great interest to a nine year old boy. I also remember two of the school pupils, names of Margaret Rutland and Tony Lee. The whole school held 14 pupils at that time.
Living at Latimer Village
I lived in Hollytree Cottage during the sixties, and was christened at St. Mary Magdalen Latimer. My father worked for Lord Chesham. Our house used to be the Cavendish Arms, a pub at one time. Many of the staff from the big house lived in the village after retiring at that time. We had a good village shop and everyone was very friendly.
1967-1968 Latimer House
I was posted to joint services staff college as it was then, I was there for 6 months during which time as a cook I served many famous people, including the Queen! Many fond memories for me, it was a very nice place.
