the 1960'S A memory of Waggoners Wells, Hampshire I CAN REMEMBER THE FISHING AT WAGGONERS WELLS, THERE WAS 4 OF US MY BROTHER AND I AND TWO FRIENDS WE USED TO FISH THE THIRD LAKE SOMETIMES WE WOULD STAY OVERNIGHT ALTHOUGH I DONT THINK YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO. I CAN ALSO REMEMBER AN OLD GENTLEMAN IN A FLAT CAP NOT SURE WHO HE WAS OR WHAT HIS JOB WAS (BAILIFF PERHAPS ?) OR DID HE LIVE IN THE TEA SHOP PAST THE THIRD LAKE NOT SURE. I HAVEN'T BEEN THERE FOR YEARS AS I NOW LIVE IN NORTH OXFORDSHIRE BUT DO INTEND TO VIST VERY SOON. DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHO THIS GENTLEMAN WAS ? Posted: 29/08/2006 08:58 by Patrick Sweeney |

Little Black Houses A memory of Headley Down, Hampshire This is where our godmother used to live. Her name was Fona, a really lovely lady, we'll always remember her. I was born here in the same little black house that Fona lived in, (she used to live next door, but moved into our house when we moved to Saville Crescent in Bordon). I don't remember Headley Down when I lived there as I was very young when we moved, but when I was older my elder sister used to take me there on a bus from Bordon, always on a Saturday. Fona would take us blackberry picking and we would play in the large back garden for hours. I remember there were loads of fir trees and the houses seemed to be higgledy-piggledy with shrubs and trees in between - so much nicer than these modern estates. Before Fona took us to the bus stop to go home we would have toast and chocolate spread or peanut butter and jam whilst Uncle Dennis (Fona's husband) watched the football results on the television. I loved those times and wish I could turn back time and live them all over again. Last edited: 08/08/2007 09:38 by Barbara Ingarfield |

Year: 1920s
Dad was born here A memory of Liphook, Hampshire Dad was born at 25 Station Road in 1927, and his Dad had his own business there, G Budd & Sons. When Grandad passed away, and Nan a few years later, Dad bought the house, with 'the yard' behind and carried on the business, which was a building firm. Dad's brothers also worked for the firm. Dad was painter and decorator, Uncle David a brickie and Uncle John a carpenter. Last edited: 31/01/2007 19:40 by Jennifer Webb |

Bordon A memory of Bordon, Hampshire 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.

The Mill A memory of Bordon, Hampshire 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. Last edited: 08/08/2007 09:39 by Barbara Ingarfield |
