Growing up in North Boarhunt
My mother and father moved to 1 Birch Hill Cottages when I was in arms. I went to the tiny school in Newtown by mini bus which was really a Bedford van with seats in the back. I played in the field with the swings and on some Saturdays watched the football played there. My Uncle David used to play for Wickham, those were the days when shorts were below the knees! I played with the other children that lived at the top of Trampers Lane, names like the Crooks, Smith and Parretts come to mind. My mother used to do "weddings" in the working mens club, known in those days as the hut. She ran the WI for many years from there, then later the over 60s. My father was in the Royal Navy, so wasn't at home very often, not like they are to day. I played in the woods, we all did, but we shouldn't have - playing dens was so much better if it was built...

Living in North Boarhunt - 1965-1968
My parents moved to North Boarhunt in 1964/65. We lived at the top of Trampers Lane - sideways to what was then Doney's Garage. Our house was called "Tryfan". I went to Newton Primary School and have very fond memories of this school with the two teachers, (one) was called Mrs Mahoney, and two classrooms. The main classroom had a coal fire which burned away behind the teacher's desk, and outside was a large store for all the coal - next to the outside toilets! We had a lovely field to play in, with a "Wendy House". If you took an egg to school, in the afternoons you were allowed to make fairy cakes. I also remember thinking the school was very advanced because we had a libary and a music room and used to listen to education programms on the radio. When the weather was fine we would go on lengthy nature walks and learn about frogspawn, birds and catkins. My best friend at school was called Lyn Johnson,... Read more
Julie Johnson, A Little Girl, A Lifetime of Memories
I was born at Hawthorne Cottage, Trampas Lane, North Boarhunt on May 7th 1957, it was my grandparents' house, Charlie and Marge Johnson. Their son Rod was my dad, and Joan was my mum, later I had a sister Lynn and a brother Simon. We moved into 6 Birch Hill Cottages and I went to Newtown, Droxford and Porchester Schools. I remember Mrs Mahoney and Mrs Russell at Newtown School. I remember going to tea at Mrs Mahoney's house once, she used to invite some of her pupils to her house for tea, it was a lovely house and I remember her husband as being a lovely man. We used to go on nature walks if it was a nice day, I loved it, collecting flowers and leaves and learning all about nature, and when I went to porchester we used to go down to the castle and draw it. One year at Droxford we did a nativity play at Christmas and we had a real donkey in the church. My... Read more

Getting Married
When I moved with my family from North Boarhunt we came here to Portchester. Little was I to know, but I would be getting married in the beautiful church in the castle grounds. It was a lovely setting, with the lych gate and castle as a back drop. My husband-to-be had been in the choir a few years before and so when we came out married, the choir held up their prayer books to make an arch. I have moved on since then and now live in Southampton but Portchester is still in my heart.
Marriage
We moved to Portchester because of my father's job (He worked on Portsdown Hill) and in 1967 I married my husband at St Mary's church in Portchester. I have fond memorys of the church as I was confirmed in it and spent my teenage years attending the Youth Club. I can remember one occasion when Acker Bilk and his jazzman played in the Village? Hall, & this was well attended. I don't think we had many well known people at events before this. My second sister also married in St Mary's Church.
I have now moved on and currently live with my husband in Cheshire. Our two children are now married with children of their own
Family From Wickham
Hi, I have pictures of the cottages in Bridge Street ,I think it is 9 BS, where my father's grandmother Emily Pratt lived, she was born in 1856 and died 1914. We have a lot of family ties to this area as most of my father's side of the family came from Wickham, they lived and worked as market gardeners and also lived in Trampers Lanes in the School Cottages. Most of the Foots, Houghton and Pratts are related in one way or another. I have many found memories of my father saying where his grandmother lived and he loved taking us to Wickham market for a treat in the car when my brothers and sister were small. Tracing my family tree has been found in Wickham, as in your photo my grand's house is the one that is just covered by your logo. Most of the family are buried in the church that you can just see the spire of in your photo.
