My husband and I took his father, Ken Benwell, back to North Warnborough today, for his 90th birthday. He was born on 25th April 1919 and lived there until he was three years old. He then moved to Suffolk with his parents. He has never been back since.
He recognised Perrys Cottages straight away, as the place where his grandparents once... [more]

Hampshire memories
Julian's hunt story is almost right. I was living at the Chalk Pit at the time, and still do. It was about 1981, on a Saturday lunchtime, when the hunt came over the top, but it wasn't on Boxing Day. The hounds were chasing Hares. The leader of the hunt knew there was a main road so directed the hunt across... [more]

The chalk pit at Odiham looks much the same today as it did over 100 years ago, except that most of the buildings are no longer there. An old story I heard in the The Bell Pub, mentioned the local hunt gathering in the Bury Square on boxing day some years ago. They left in the direction of the Chalk Pit... [more]

Hampshire Revisited Photographic Memories
This is a typical Edwardian scene, with a group of villagers looking coyly at the camera. Today, with increased housing development, North Warnborough has almost joined up with Odiham. A new bypass has helped to reduce the high volume of traffic running through the village.

Odiham Then and Now Photographic Memories
The plastered section of this long building was known as Webbs Cottages, and the southern range, Portsmouth Cottages. The first one of the latter was the Reading Room and Club. Newspapers, magazines and a library were available to members, and they could also play billiards, darts and whist. Opposite, George Millam was using the osiers growing on the Green behind his cottage (built of chalk) in his trade as a basket maker. John... [more]
