Home From 1962 1974
This was my home from approximately 1962 to 1974. My parents ran the shop and the Post Office during this time. The days were very long as they ran the shop during the day and in the evenings they made deliveries to the local villagers. They opened every day of the week with half days on Wednesday and Sunday. The views from the back of the house looked over to the Hamble River and on a clear day you could see the Isle of Wight. It had a large garden.

Choir
I sang in the church choir from about 1970. Douglas Paine and then Harry Wilson were the vicars. Happy memories.

1960s 1970s

Taylor?, above the door. I also remember the Lone Barn being constructed from bits of old timber that arrived on lorries. Christine (nee Thompson)

Visits By The Family
I can remember that my family visited the Fox and Hounds frequently earlier than this date, but this was the first date I was legally allowed to partake of the amber fluid. I can remember the old artifacts, like biscuits from the Crimean War that hang from the rafters. Various pottery, clay pipes etc., a marvellous cross section and history of the river Hamble and the area. I was so sad when later in ...see more

A Special Day
I have fond memories of the church as I got married in May 1973. I will never ever forget the beautiful atmosphere inside. I keep saying I will go back and visit it but I do not know if it still open and being used, can anyone tell me? Kind regards PAULEEN
