The Fountain Inn
I have many fond memories of Whiteparish. My Gran and "Uncle Stan" (Stan and Florrie Pulford) had that pub for a few years until about 1975. The pub looks very different now but I can still picture my sisters and myself running around the bars in the afternoons after closing and listening (at the door from the stairs) to the merry voices from the bar.

Pauline Barbera Hatch
Pauline was the kindest person in the world, she'd help anyone and anytime, anywhere. I just want to place this memory for her in the heart of East Dean where eveyone knew and loved her!
You're truly deeply missed and would never be forgoten by her daughter Milly Hatch, son Richard Hatch, you'll always be in our hearts for ever and no one will take it away. We loveyou mum forever, wish you could be here but can't. You have a grandson now 2 yrs of age and Richard is now an uncle. We miss everyone terribly from the villages East Dean and Lockerley. Night mum sleep tight, love Milly and Richard xxxx

Re Bodenham village
Our Gould family moved from Buggs Farm to Bodenham and lived next door to the Post Office in a long row of cottages that can still be seen from the main road.
They must have moved somewhen shortly after 1901, g granny was still living there in the late 1920s. One of the sons, Horace was working on a farm or farmed at Odstock in 1923 or thereabouts. Do you have any recollections of the family?
G Grandad died in 1923.Our 2nd cousin ( her father and Horace were brothers) aged 86 yrs, clearly remembers staying with Granny, and we have photographs taken of them outside the front door, Granny in long skirts down to here ankles.

Extracts From Whiteparish & Wiltshire books
The church was built
in 1841-45 by Thomas
Henry Wyatt and D
Brandon for the Rt Hon
Sir Sidney Herbert,
Secretary of War, a
member of the Earl
of Pembroke’s family.
The impressive and
memorable building cost
£20,000 to build. This
view of the church is a
seldom-seen one, as the
building fronts the main
road at the other end.
An extract from from"Wiltshire Churches Photographic Memories".
The importance of Salisbury to the military establishment
after the war can be seen in this picture of Fish Row, just
behind the Guildhall. A Pickfords lorry is fighting its way
along the narrow street, possibly heading for the Military
Tailors in the left foreground, or to the Servicemen’s Hostel
next door.
An extract from from"Salisbury Pocket Album".
The Cathedral viewed from the south has been a favourite subject for
artists—including, of course, Constable. This particular view is from the
Old Mill at Harnham, and shows the Mill itself, the river and the water
meadows as well as the Cathedral. Harnham Mill is a very old building,
dating from around 1500. Like the first photograph in this book, the
timeless beauty of this scene has remained unchanged for more than half
a millennium.
An extract from from"Salisbury Pocket Album".
On the Salisbury side of Harnham Bridge, De Vaux Place leads to The
Close—the Harnham Gate is at the far end of the wall. Most of the old
houses here were built in the 18th and 19th centuries using stone from
the remains of the De Vaux College, which was established here by the
Bishop to train clergy as early as 1262—probably the first university
college in the century.
An extract from from"Salisbury Pocket Album".
The bridge was built by the Bishop of Salisbury around 1240
to facilitate trade between the new city and the south: the
Cathedral spire can be seen in the background. Nearly seven
hundred years later, the bridge was still carrying all south-
bound traffic around the city and across the Avon, but a new
bridge was built just downstream in 1931.
