Shared Memories of Hungerford
 Hungerford, Bridge Street c1960 (ref: H134073) |
Year: 1996
Roxtons doorway
We lived for 9 years a few doors behind where the photographer is standing. The shop with the awning on the right was Roxtons, a very trendy 'hunting shooting and fishing' shop where you had to be landed gentry to get in the door. If you were to watch from our upstairs window shortly after closing time, every night, the same guy would stagger up the road and have a pee in Roxtons doorway. With his heavy beard, and the same annorak worn every night in every weather, it was a most disturbing spectacle! I wonder how the paintwork is standing up?

 Hungerford, Bridge Sreet 1903 (ref: 49386) |
Year: 1987
Best place to live
We moved to Hungerford in 1987 just two months before Michael Ryan shot 14 people. See that white house way down on the left with one window in the top, well I lived in the house just after that. You can't see it very well but it is sited on one of the old mills and is called Mill Hatch. So called because the hatch where the water turned the wheel is still in the back garden. We had trout that lived in the garden and I would fish for them with string and bread but no hooks. They took the bait immediately and I would be able to lift them out of the water before they slipped off the string and fell back into the water. I wonder if they are still there?
