or of a photo of Milford On Sea.
My grandmother, Ellen Jane St. John, owned a cottage/cabin/ex-WWI Army Hut, appropriately called The Hut on Westover Road and it was my job when first arriving from Southamton in her Standard 8 car to cut the grass. Being a large area, for my young size, it took half-a-day to complete the task. There was no electricity, the place being lit with... [more]

I have lots of memories of Milford, where I was born in 1962 and lived for 12 years, next to this church, in Orchard Cottage. I saw many weddings, christenings and funerals. There was always something going on. I went to the Sunday school and have fond memories of Miss Berry, the Sunday school mistress. Such a lovely lady. I was... [more]

Who else remembers the smell of that freshly baked bread coming from the bakery here, on the very left of the photo (where the chimneys are)? As I child in the 1960s I would volunteer to go to the bakers and rush home with that hot, freshly baked loaf and devour both crusts.

Hampshire memories
Having lived at Downton from 1958, I grew up opposite Downton Holiday Camp.
My father owned the builders next to the pub and I bought my first car at the garage 2 doors to the right. Somewhen in the mid 1960s I met the new landlady's daughter, Diane! Well, despite the age gap (I was about 7 and she was 15-ish)... [more]

I have lived in Everton my whole life. I love the village. I am a respectable citizen of Everton and have lived for nearly 18 years in Frys Lane.
I hope other people enjoy the atmosphere as much as I do.

As a young boy of 9 or so, living in Barton on Sea, sometime around 1952, I remember a ship washing up in a storm on the beach at Hordle Cliff. During the time before it was re-floated, the local youth had the opportunity to clamber all over the wreck. I remember examining the engine room and was quite taken with... [more]

My maternal grandmother and mother were both born in Lymington, my mother attending the grammar school in Brockenhurst (I remember as a small boy her pointing it out to me from the train). In 1944, when the V1 'doodlebugs' started falling, it was decided that my mother, my sister and I should leave our home in London to join my... [more]

The Evans Sisters on Moorlands Avenue
The Evans sisters, their donkeys, and their Kindergarten School are a substantial part of my childhood memories. We lived around the corner from them, and we were sometimes boarded there when our parents needed a break, or just babysat while the parents worked. The donkeys were taken down to Barton beach in the summer to give visitors donkey rides along the... [more]

New Forest Photographic Memories
The relatively low-lying ground around Milford on Sea makes the area ideal for exploration on foot or bicycle. Birdwatchers would do well to bring their binoculars the better to see the great variety of seabirds that visit this coastline.

Hampshire Revisited Photographic Memories
This is the centre of Milford, with the road to Keyhaven and the coast on the right by the Midland Bank. The village began to expand in 1866-1867 when a local man came up with a scheme to transform it into a popular seaside resort. An improvement committee was formed, which in turn organised a public subscription to raise money for... [more]

New Forest Photographic Memories
Milford on Sea has been a successful small resort since Victorian times, and its devotees return again and again. The beach is shingly, but the bathing is safe. There are a number of excellent country walks in the area, many of them boasting wonderful views across to the Isle of Wight.
