Bull Lane

I can almost see Bull Lane from there. We lived in 'Summerfield' half way up that lane.
I remember Mr Wilbey's Ironmongers. He had a massive walrus moustache, and a shop that was a genuine museum in itself. There was Woodwards Store halfway up the main street, and I think W.C.Chase ran the Post Office Stores in this picture. There was another shop almost opposite , and the number 69 bus to Fareham ran from a few yards further on. I remember waiting for that bus with my friends as we all went to various schools in Fareham. Several of us to Wykeham House, a few to the Girls Grammar, and the rest to Prices.
