Hampshire memories
Whitethorn Morris at The Winchester MayFest 08
May 2008, and the city of Winchester hosted a festival of music and dance, with the streets closed to traffic and thronged with entertainers, market stalls and happy crowds.
I was part of the band playing for Whitethorn Morris at this event and enjoyed my visit to Winchester. As I walked from the station I passed by the clock in the High Street shown in this Francis Frith view of 1896. Its still there and exactly the same!
My wife Elizabeth danced, and I played my piano accordian for most of the day, including a long procession of all the entertainers from the Cathedral Green and up the High Street. It was a really happy and fun day out and a pleasure to entertain so many people in the crowded streets.
Morris Dancing in The Streets at The Winchester MayFest
On Friday 15th & Saturday 16th May 2009, Winchester celebrated traditional and contemporary music, dance and song in venues all around the city.
Many events featured Morris Dancing and took place in the High Street, the Square, on the Cathedral Green and inevitably in some of Winchester’s favourite watering holes including the Eclipse Inn.
The weather was a little unkind early on the Saturday for those of us playing music and dancing by the Butter Cross shown in this view of the High Street. Although the day remained windy, the sun did come out and in next to no time very large crowds gathered round to watch the displays of dancing. I went along with my piano accordian to help provide music for the Whitethorn Morris dancers from Harrow. The eight dancers looked spectacular in their scarlet and blue kit plus shiny black clogs. At the end of each dance done to a jaunty jig or pulsating polka tune there was a good round of applause from... Read more
Schooldays
Considering I spent 5 years as a day boy at Peter Symonds' my memories are scant to say the least, probably the most significant was the Annual Founders Day service at the Cathedral, the covered passage from the High Street past the school outfitters by the Cross and into the precinct of the Cathedral, the majestic city hall building further down. At the station a long walk up the hill to school, the bakers shop just round from the school gates which the head put out of bounds, sad as I find it, that, apart from school related memories, is it.
A Yokel's Tale
A Personal Recollection of growing up during the last days of the pedestrian era in rural England by Tom Thornton A Yokel's Tale My earliest recollection of my Thornton grandparents, Alice and Tom, dates back to my pre-school years, when my Mum and Dad occasionally visited them at May Cottages, Longwood Dean. They lived at the south end of a group of four tied Mock Tudor cottages which had steep brick steps leading up from the narrow lane to the heavy wooden gate which opened onto a long narrow garden sloping up past the house, probably about ¼ of an acre. In front of the house to the right and stretching 50 yards up to the hen house was Granddad's immaculate vegetable garden. To the left of the seemingly long gravel path was a beautifully manicured lawn with steep banks down which we rolled and tumbled on while the grown-ups had tea in the house and conversations that we were never allowed to hear. Children were required to be “seen and not... Read more
The Long Long Walk
My memory of Owslebury goes back to the hot summer of 1937. I lived in Bishopstoke at that time, being a lad of nine years old. My father had just bought our first car, not a posh one and looking back I doubt if it would pass an MOT of today. It was a little red Austin 7 Nippy that had long passed its sell-by date, but it made us the only family in our street that had wheels and gave us the chance to get away from the village to visit places like the New Forest, Lepe and a favourite evening run to Owslebury. We would sit on a grass island in the road that had a water pump close to the village pub. Dad would go in and return with port and lemon for mother and himself and lemonade with cheesy biscuits or a packet of Smiths crisps where inside there was to be found a little blue paper screw of salt. My sister and I would play around... Read more
Ancestry, Beginning in Owslebury in 1677
My distant relative, John Wild was born in Owslebury in 1677. He married Mary Andrews in 1747, the family then moved to Twyford and then Hursley, and finally we ended up in Winchester.
Girls of St Margarets
Hello people, my time at Kings Worthy as a young girl - remembering dancing at our local social club where the locals made us welcome. A beautiful place, I remember the park where I made lots of friends. Girls of St Margarets that I can recall, I often wonder what became of them: Angie from Hawley, Hants. Dawn with a hamster. Sonia who dedicated time to the handicapped home along with myself for a while, and Debs from Aldershot. Hope you see this girlies. x
