Hampshire memories
TEACHERS
The picture is exactly how I remember the school. The headmaster was Mr Lee, we use to call him Jimpy. Then there was Mrs Waller, who we were all scared of, she was really strict. Mr Wiltshire was a favourite, he used to arrive at school on his little motor bike. Also Mrs Watkins and Miss Hussey, they looked after the tiny children. I loved my time at The Holme School.
Memory Lane
Oh my .... my old school, I remember the lane at the side of the school, and remember one day my sister and I decided to walk home (WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD). Our mom was waiting for the bus at other end and you can imagine how worried she was, well you can imagine the reception we got when we arrived in tow with a policeman, what a memory.
Cross Road Stores
The store on the cross roads in Lindford was named Cross Road Stores. My parents bought Cross Road Stores in I think 1962-63 and ran the stores for about 4 years, the stores and the house were very old, I was about 7 or 8 years old when we moved to the stores. The house was 3 floors high, there was an extension built on the back of the house for a garage and a store room, and the garden at the rear which at that time went right up to the next house, which was owned by the milkman Mr Souter. In the rear garden there was an old green house and an apple orchard, some years later my father sold off most of the rear garden and a house was built on the ground. I have cine film my father took during our time in Lindford showing the 1963 snow and cars being pushed, and other times spent there. Happy times.
Cross Road Stores
I lived at 49 "The Triangle" in the prefabs, just up the road from the stores past the Royal Exchange Pub, from about 1958 -1965. When I first moved there the store was owned by Mr Pears and we called it Pears's Stores. I was friends with Alan Jones whose parents owned the shop down the road to the right in the picture. I went to Mill Chase and 2 other schools in the area (I can't remember the names) from 1955 until I left school in 1960. Reading other comments from the area, I too remember the Butchers Shop, The Mill (I used to swim there) and the Fish & Chip shop where every Saturday we would have Fish & Chips and scratchings. They were little pieces of the batter etc. and they were free. Please get in touch if you remember me.
Weyford Junior School
This photo is of the temporary classrooms and main building of Weyford Junior School where I was a pupil from 1964 to 1969.
The Mill
My mum used to take us all (seven of us) to the mill to paddle. It was always freezing, some would even be brave enough to swim. There was always a strong smell of pond weed, but we had great fun. When it was warm enough we used to pack a picnic and walk to Frensham pond which was a great treat. That was about 40 years ago now but I remember it like it was yesterday.
Bordon
This was a lovely quiet village when I first came here. Unfortunately, it is becoming run down and untidy. Pity, really. We seem to be having all the throw outs from other places. When the army goes (if they go), this will be a dumping ground for all types of undesireables.
