Tongham Shops
I remember going into all these shops when I was a toddler. I loved watching the sugar and flour being taken from bags stood on the floor or counter. Everything was in sacks or bags and on display. It was so interesting going shopping back then taking our time in each shop catching up on the village news. What a lovely time to grow up in!
All my Growing Years
I remember growing up in the village of Tongham, met my husband and still going strong. Prepared for many years of memories from school to moving, still visit occasionally, hasn't changed too much except for new builds. The cardinals remains virtually untouched. 1974-1988
The War Years in Tongham
I lived and served in the Home Guard in Tongham during the Second World War. Dad played the piano in the White Hart at that time. Canadian soldiers were in abundance (2 of my sisters were war brides). The landlord of the White Hart at that time, I believe, was Jim Hatton. There was also a POW camp there (Italian soldiers). I have so many happy memories of the war years and growing up within a large family there before joining the army and serving the final months of the war in Northwest Europe. I left for Canada with my young family in 1957 and am now a retiree living close to Vancouver, British Columbia. I have so many fond memories of Tongham and its place in my family's history during the war years.

Home. The Cobbs
We moved to Tongham from Ash in 1955 when I was 14, lived on the Cardinales, I am now living in Yorkshire. The days and years spent in Tongham were good, having a house with a bath and flushing toilet was brill. I still did not have my own bedroom, but never mind, it was really the start of my adult life. I went into the army for 2 years, married and came home, had my children and also lived on the Cardinals. I worked in the cafe, the first shop in the row, played Stallball as did my girls, I was in the Red Cross. Our boy played for Tongham football club, always took part in Tongham Carnival, helped my mother with the over 60 club when they went on holidays, good friends. Tongham has changed over the years and is now looking a bit full, not like a country village as it was back then, never mind it's still Tongham with its own village people.
