 North Tidworth, Holy Trinity Church c1965 (ref: N81020) |
Year: 1944
Choir Practice in this Churchu
My friends and I were all in the choir here - I think it outnumbered the congregation usually. We had to share a vicar with Ludgershall. Choir practice was on a Friday evening. When the War ended in 1945 they were desperate for bellringers so us kids all got to help. It was not much of a holy peal though. I spent many happy sumer days sitting on the ivy covered wall outside waiting for Sunday School to start. My father's funeral service was conducted here in 1947 as the Military Cemetery does not have a church closer to it. The vicar's name was a Mr. Miller He was a lovely Christian man and always came to the wedding receptions after he had married the couple.

Flooding in these cottages
I lived with my parents in Zouch Avenue nearby but did go to school with a girl who lived in one of these cottages. The River Bourne is/was directlyopposite and every winter it overflowed, ran across the road and flooded the downstairs of these cottages. The pianola lived permanently on a pile of bricks. The way upstairs here was a ladder in a cupboard. I did envy that child as I was only about 5 myself. The same families through the generations seemed to occupy these cottages but they were all pulled down when I last visited. They also had outside bucket toilets and every Wednesday afternoon the emptying lorry came and the smell standing at the bus stop opposite was quite dreadful. Buses came hourly to Andover.

Friends in North Tidworth
My best friend Barbara Harris, who I have not seen since I was 14 years old. Finally last week we re-united, thanks to my Auntie Olive who lives in Andover now. The years just rolled back an I recognised her and she recognised me, we could not stop hugging and looking at each other. This is a friendship which has survived an absence of 40 years.

 North Tidworth, Nepaul Road c1965 (ref: N81003) |
Year: 1950
Childhood memories
My mum Dorothy Elizabeth Pratt was born in Nepaul Road in 1927. I was born in Salisbury Infirmary in 1950 and lived with my mum and granny and grandad (Bill and Eileen Pratt), I had a great time when I was little playing on the Garrisons football pitch, I use to sit in a tray and slide down the hill onto the pitch. The Ghurkhas were posted at the Garrison at the time and they were so friendly. My best friend Barbara Harris lived down the road with her family. My grandad worked in the office at Bulford Camp sorting out the supplies. He use to come home at 1pm for his dinner, and then the big army lorry would come and pick him up and take me with him. I always remember, even though I was only about 4 years old, I was left in the office on my own for a few minutes, but in that time I managed to stamp every piece of paper that was laying on the desk. My grandads boss though it very funny, I use to go into the stores when I was allowed and the people would give me sweets. My grandad was the curator at Tidworth Church, he is also buried there along with my granny and my mums ashes and also my great aunt is buried there. Posted: 29/11/2007 21:04 by Linda-Jane Scott |
