Happy Days

The Village c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

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.
