Berkshire memories
Where I Was Born.
I was born at my grandmother's house in Chavey Down Road. Her name was Mary-Ann Bye. I only knew her, as my grandfather had died many years before. My mum, Edith Ellen Bye was one of five children and we lived in Eastbourne on the South Coast. I didn't make many visits to Chavey Down, as my grandmother died in her sixties, but about ten years ago I did go with a friend to see the house I was born in. Fortunately I remembered it, as the name of Chavey Down Road had been changed. I can't remember to what, but it it some local councillor or other. My friend and I were fortunate to be invited in for a cup of tea by two very nice neighbours. They remembered my gran and the family. So, at least I know I had definitely got the right place! Unfortunately, my aunt and uncle, mum's sister and brother, have moved away,... Read more
Little Tudor 1900's to Present
Little Tudor was the cottage that my grandmother resided in when she was a young girl. It is located on The Green in Holyport, Maidenhead. She and her brothers and sisters grew up here in the 1900s. I visited it last summer for the first time ... it looked the same as pictures my grandmother had of it when she returned for a visit in the 1960s. I would love to find out of the history of this lovely old cottage. It used to house three families, now it has been converted to a single family home. Just lovely! Wish I knew the date it was built and the history of it.
Living in Binfield 1946-1971
I moved to Binfield with my parents Rose and Cyril Richardson and my brother Brian in 1946. We lived in Rose Hill at a house called “Athlone”. It isn’t there any more, it was demolished and six houses built on the site.
At the age of 30 I finally left Binfield but the memories of growing up there have never left me, nor the love of the countryside which living there instilled in me. I have listed just a few of the people that lived and co-existed in the village during my time there, I could still list many more tales, some good, some very sad, if anyone is interested.
POP RAPLEY was a small round man who lived in Red Rose Hill opposite the White Horse pub. He was always dressed in corduroy trousers, highly polished leather gaiters and brown boots. I think he earned a living by hedging and ditching and gardening jobs. One day, roughly 1949, Bill (Blocker) Sergeant, who lived next door to... Read more
Stag Motorcycle Club.
About this time I was a member of the Stag Motorcycle Club, our headquarters was the Stag and Hounds, it was a wonderful time in my life, it was a great club. I recall with great affection a few of the fellow members - Bert and Mervin Higgs, Jerry Church, Johny Holliman, Wally Stevens, and many other very special people with great affection. Ron Ponsford.
Searl Street
Oh, what a joy to find this photograph. Between the Market Inn and the shop was a little unmade lane called Searl Street. I was born at number five, at my grandparents' house, in October 1945.
Over the years I returned to Bracknell on many occasions to visit relatives, the last time I visited was in the 1980s and I was shocked to find the lane had disappeared, along with the house I was born in.
If anyone out there remembers the Tomkins family please leave a post.
In The Choir
Chour Master was a Mr Faulkner, he had a great influence on me during my time in the church choir. He had a Morris Minor FRX83, green, I have never forgotten it. He used to pick me up for practice every week, and insisted that our cassock/surplice was always smart. To the right of the gates was where all new members got initiated, they were placed on the wall laying down, then rolled off onto the ground, we thought that was great, or we took them into the foyer and tried to get them to touch the light switch, telling them it was live. I can laugh now, but we all went through it. We got paid as well so we went to most services, I even got to pull the bells, now that was great. Colin
Bracknell
Hi Peter, if your dad was a bricklayer I believe I worked with him for Sergents of Bracknell. Let me know, I would love to talk to you about him. Kindest regards, Ron Ponsford.
