I think you need to get a bit further back in history to find anything about the Old Reading Room which you describe as "High Trees", Long Lane. In the thirties my parents rented Ploverfield Lodge Cottage which stood at the entrance of the driveway leading to Ploverfield, at that time owned by a family named Oliver. The Reading Room, as...

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

I do not think this ever was a hospital in the usual sense. I am pretty sure it was a house called Brixedene (Brixedone?) in Blundell Lane, owned and lived in by a family called Thistlethwaite. During the war it was a children's home, although I do not know anything about who it was run by and I think after the... [more]

Houseboats in the picture of Bursledon Bridge
In the picture are several houseboats moored up to the bank on the LHS of the picture; I used to live on the large white motor torpedo boat (originally called 'Hippocampus') when she was moved from the River Hamble to the River Itchen in 1974; I renamed her 'Whimsical Macgoffley'. She was built in Cowes at the J. Samual White Shipyard,... [more]

The car with the 'L' plates is the car my sister learnt to drive, and so the photo must have been taken in a few months from late January 1966. Athough the PO has closed, the Newburys have lived here from at least as far back as 1853 to date.

I grew up in Warsash (Fleet End) in the 1950s and a friend of mine lived in one of the cottages shown. His aunt produced hand-painted watercolour postcards, one of which I possess. It was obviously painted from this photograph, as it shows in almost every respect an identical view. The only things different are the omission of the roof and... [more]

Not really a memory but just wondering if anyone can recall my nan, Millicent Ferris, nee Barfoot. I didn't really know her but my father has told me stories about her and if anyone knew her, either from Hedge End or even when her and Granddad had the shop near Bitterne, it would be great - any photos even better!

Extracts From Old Bursledon & Hampshire books

Hampshire Revisited Photographic Memories
Bursledon consists of two distinct halves - the new and the old. The older part is more interesting and certainly more picturesque, with its streets of quaint old buildings clinging to the banks of the Hamble. Visitors to Bursledon often recall the little Gothic belfry at the entrance to the Roman Catholic chapel of Our Lady of the Rosary.

The sun highlights the front of the post office on this quiet, peaceful road. A bicycle leans against the wall. Strawberry growing was still a popular occupation around here. The lanes were quiet and occasional horse-drawn vehicles might be seen. The post office was also the local shop and delivered bread, groceries, meat and milk to many villagers' doorsteps; now it...

The church stands halfway up a hill overlooking the village rooftops and contains a large and impressive Norman font.The chancel arch is 13th-century, and the church contains several memorials to former shipbuilders, including Philemon Ewer, who died in 1750. Ewer built seven large ships of war for his majesty's service during the wars with France and Spain.
