My Home

I lived in Rose Cottage from mid 1965 to July 1966 when we were posted to Germany. At the time it was divided into two cottages. Myself, my husband and my 6mths old son lived in no2 which was the cottage on the left side looking front on. My husband was in the army. We had a choice of Rose Cottage... [more]

Hampshire memories

RAF Middle Wallop

1946, I was stationed at RAF Middle Wallop and remember the village with watercress beds. Rationing was of the vogue but next to the aerodrome was a bungalow that always supplied eggs and chips to ever hungry airmen.

If anyone remembers me please get in touch. Jack Lawford.

Snow time

My father was the local postman until he had a serious accident at Middle Wallop. One of my memories of Nether Wallop was him telling me how it had snowed so hard on one occasion that when he delivered mail in School Lane where the wind blew in off the aerodrome he was dropping the mail through the upstairs windows of...

Water Colour Painting

I have two beautiful original water colour paintings of Nether Wallop. One is of St Andrews Church and the other is of a thatched cottage leading up to the church.
Both are signed E Flower 41 and I was hoping someone may be able to help me find out more about this artist.

Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Over Wallop, inspired by Frith photos.

Hampshire Living Memories

Next to the thatched cottages on the left is the White Hart pub. We can see thatched cob walls on both the left and the right; Over Wallop is the place to go in Hampshire to see this regional speciality. Middle, Nether and Over Wallop line the Wallop Brook that joins the River Test above Bossington.

Hampshire Revisited Photographic Memories

Wallop means 'valley of the stream,' and if we look closely we can just see the Wallop brook on the left of the road. Nearby is an old RAF Battle of Britain fighter station; 20 or so years before this picture was taken, the skies above the village would have echoed to the unforgettable sound of Spitfires and Hurricanes.

Petersfield - A History & Celebration

The cenotaph in the High Street commemorates those who died in battle but whose remains lie elsewhere. It is of unusual and classic appearance; it was designed by the architect Harry Inigo Triggs, who had travelled and studied in Italy. The detailing is borrowed from the eight blank panels in the Medici chapel in Florence; on these panels are carved the names of the town's dead of the First World... [more]
