The Old School
My place of work. I have done a lot of work on collecting archive photos and making electronic copies of some of the many fascinating letters and articles written by the old girls 1880's to present. Posted: 17/12/2007 15:02 by Richard Clarke |

 Salisbury, the Cathedral from the River 1887 (ref: 19730) |
the Town Path
Have seen this view many times in my younger days back in the late 1920s and early 30s, just after crossing the footbridge over the river, when on my way to see my dear old gran at Harnham. I can still remember the smell of the old mill. Posted: 06/04/2006 16:20 by Mr E Drewitt |

 Bodenham, Longford Castle 1887 (ref: 19820) |
Year: 1942
Life in the park. A memory of Bodenham, Wiltshire I was born in Longford Park in April 1942, my father was "Bill" Ashman, head gardener to the Earl of Radnor from 1940 until 1965 (approx). My younger brother Peter and I were fortunate to have been brought up in the relative calm and prosperity of the Longford Estate immediately after the war. Many reminders of the estate's wartime role were still evident in those times especially the Nissen huts occupied by the American troops prior to their D Day landings. The park in those days boasted four gate lodges at Britford, Bodenham, Nunton and Alderbury, although the Nunton lodge was demolished to assist in the improvement of the A338 main road to Bournemouth. I am reminded of many characters from that era, Vic Gray the head keeper, Arthur Morril the butler later succeeded by Fred Gibson, Jim Wilson the chef, Freddie Sims the chauffeur, Frank Freeman the groom, all neighbours and all living within 200 yards of the castle. As my brother and I came into out teens we joined the Longford Park cricket team, and in our heyday the team was able to field regularly 5 "lefthanded" batsmen. Cricket was played in the most wonderful setting in the field immediately in front of the castle. Most of the young men playing cricket in the summer months also turned out for Radnor Hall FC during the winter. All games were discussed and analysed in the Radnor Arms during the evening after the game. I very much appreciate my good fortune in growing up in that sheltered environment, especially as I now reflect upon my life whilst spending my retirement here in the Limousin region of France.

Dad''s panic A memory of Huntworth, Somerset Dad was village copper for several years (our old Police House is now "Peelers" in Thorneydown Road) and had a number of people he got on well with. He tended not to panic too often but one day a message came through that had him rush out in panic because of the loss of one of his friends, Pat Pocock from the Post Office. I can't remember the exact year but it was early 1960's. Later the Post Office was moved to a shop in Thorneydown Road and later still it was taken over by Frank Gaulton who still ran it when we left Winterbourne in 1964.
