I lived and went to school in Ogbourne St Andrew, I think the headmistress was a Miss Platt and very authoritarian. I always remember school dinners because we were not allowed to leave anything it all had to be eaten. Fried tomato was my nemesis.
We rented the house next to the shop, I remember from a very early age, 8-ish, spending time in the pub (it was the Wheatsheaf then) playing darts with the men, it was more of a social club all those years ago. My gran lived in the last house on the road going towards Marlborough (terrace of about 4!!), after her house was the Green Hut, where all the jumble sales were held. This has been knocked down and a house put on it. Another house has appeared in what would have been Gran's garden.
Mum was a stable-lass and worked in Turnells stables and Gran worked in the Manor House cleaning for Mr Cooper. I do remember it was boring at times as you had no one to play with when you were little.

I used to attend the local Ogbourne St. George school where Mr. Bernard Crooks was the headmaster and Mrs. Twelftree was my teacher. There used to be a kitchen attached to the school but that has since been changed to a library.

A photo very similar to this hangs in my bedroom, I am a West and spent many a happy summers here. My family used to own the tearooms, my mother and her brother were caught in the fire in 1966 which resulted in the top two floors being burnt down. Me, my brother and sister visited only once a year as we live in County Durham up north, but this building means a huge amount to my mum and this picture of it before the fire is treasured in our house. It's lovely to see a picture as it was originally, thanks, Natalie.

Marlborough Photographic Memories
This is a typical lodge house of the Ailesbury Estate variety; it bears Gothic features such as the ornate barge-boards and detailing to the eaves. This lodge has fish-scale tiles that were popular in the later 19th century. Labourers work- ing nearby have obviously been drafted in to add a rustic charm to the picture.

This fine old 17th- century farmhouse, built in a mixture of materials, stone, brick, tile-hanging and long straw thatch, is typical of the area around Marlborough. It was known as Brown’s by 1718. By the middle of the 20th century it was being used as an outhouse, and it was demolished in 1961–2 to make way for more modern farm buildings.

We are looking towards Back Lane. This is a street mainly of 16th- or 17th- century timber-framed cottages. In the garden of No 2, on the bottom left of the picture, a plague pit was found with the remains of five skeletons, a legacy of the Black Death in 1348- 9. The lady wearing a flat cap looks like she means business!
