Standon, High Street and Church c1965
Ref: S377011
I lived in Standon from the 1950s onwards till 1969 & then came back!!
My dad ran the butchers shop in the High Street from 1951-1969, Victor John Ward. I went to the school at the far end of the High Street (now residential). Headmaster was Mr Eric Norman Butler. I remember May Day, and dancing in the High Street ... more memories than I can write! School journeys? Sports days on the rec...Westwoods newsagents....Catons shop...Emertons shop...Walkers baker...Mr and Mrs Drage in the Post Office, later Dorothy and Frank Pearson... I have loads of childhood memories and of the village people from then.

The majority of my father's family lived in and around Standon from 1600 onwards and one of them was the Sexton of St. Mary's and another was the innkeeper of The Three Horseshoes at Farnham in 1881. My Grandfather was born in the Three Horsehoes. Does anyone have any connections with the Pickett family?
