West Sussex memories

The Hole Family

If anyone wants to share any memories or info about the family that would be great.
All I know is Charlie and Mabel Hole lived in Poling. Charlie farmed turkeys!

Charlie Hole

My Father Ted Pelling lived next door to the Holes at Yarmer Cottages in Poling and he told me that Charlie Hole worked on Ingrams Farm.

Davies Family

My family moved to Angmering on Sea when I was 14. We lived in the Dolphins with a garden directly onto the beach. I have tried to find friends from that time without success, in particular the Carty famly (of Irish origin, they came to Anmering for their summer holidays) or it could have been spelt differently. There was John, Jimmy, Ursula, Richard and an older sister who at a later date ran the Spotted Cow in Angmering village. I did meet John years later when my son was a year old, so that was in 1975. I now in France with my family but would love to have news of this family or a girl called Ann Shephard. Looking forward to some news Dawn Bernadis, nee Davies

My Grandfather

This is my Grandfather Joseph Smith and my two Great Aunts, Kathleen and Josephine. He was about 12 in this picture. They lived yards from where this was taken in the lodge at Arundel Park gates. My great Grandfather, William, was a groom to the then Duke of Norfolk (Henry) and Great Granmother, Kate, was a domestic. I have spent many happy times in Arundel and continue to visit.

Angmering on Sea Beach Huts

I first went to Angmering after the war. My grandparents lived there and we used to spend time there in the summer. In those days there were no such things as beach furniture or pic-nic equipment. We had an ex army camp bed and a rug to sit on and we had a primus stove to boil a kettle. I had a bathing costume made from small squares with elastic sewn on the back, when you went in the water it would fill with air and balloon up, so you had to squash it back in place. I was 10 before I could swim, so I used a rubber ring. I can remember crabbing in the rock pools. There used to be lots of crabs and fish to catch then. When the tide was very low we could walk out to the black rocks, said to be the remains of a church from a flooded village where there were some very large shrimps.

Holidays

We used to go on holidays almost every year to Littlehampton, so far as I can remember. We took the train there. Then we walked - lugging our suitcases. There was a butcher's shop on the way and it had a little statue of a pig outside. We always looked out for "Wally Pig" as we called it.

We stayed at a boarding house - Mrs Wyatt's at 34 Pier Road. So far as I can remember I shared a bed with one of my sisters. In the morning there was a china jug of hot water outside the door; this was for washing in! Then we went down to breakast with the other guests.

After breakfast we got ready and took the ferry across the river to the other side. At that time the ferries were little row boats. I don't know why we went to the other side of the river, I think we preferred... Read more
