North Tidworth, Station Road

Station Road c1960
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I remember playing cricket on the green here. The cinema across the road was where we once listened to Norman Wisdom - from the outside, we couldn't get in aged 12!
I visited this road July 2009 for the first time since then, and was horrified that a Tesco now stands where we played. But Furze Hill Road remains exactly as it was when I watched England win the 1966 World Cup. New windows on the houses of course, but the hill at the top of the road, then just grass, now has trees all over.

RE: RE: North Tidworth, Station Road

When I lived in Tidworth, there were two cinemas. The Odeon and the Electric. Neither were across the road from where Tescos is now.
