Sherfield-On-Loddon, the Village c1955
Ref: S631002
I lived in the village from the age of 9 years to 11 years. My parents were Norman and Dorothy Gower, and my dad was the manager of John Miller's the grocery store, across from the White Horse pub. Our next door neighbours were Mr and Mrs Bullpit who lived in a thatched cottage. Amy, their only daughter, worked for my dad.
My best friend name was Norma Shelvey. I rang the belles at the local church, I was the youngest. I attended the village school, and then went on to one in Basingstoke. I would put my pocket money in the savings bank which was in the post office across the road on a Saturday, and by the afternoon take it out to buy something. Those 2 years were very happy for me as a child. We moved back to North London where I lived until I married in 1966 and then moved to Washington DC in the USA. I now live in Florida. I would love to hear from someone who either remembers me or lived there during those years. Happy days.

My wife and I owned Sherfield-on-Loddon post office (pictured far left) from July 1991 until July 1999. In 1992 the shop front pictured was extended out into the garden about 15 feet and a complete refit undertaken. We did, however, retain the hand made sign over the shop front which was renovated and rehung on the new part of the building.
We had our daughter and son whilst we were living there and Sherfield will always hold a special place in our memories.
