Happy Times Remembered.

A Memory of Waterlooville.

We moved to Waterlooville in 1952,we lived in a row of houses called Salisbury Villas ,now that is the back of Waitrose.Our neighbours were Mr and Mrs Henry Cannings,and Jim and Nellie Olding.My dad Tony Blair worked in Osmonds Basket factory .I also think there was a pub called the Brick Layers and an outdoor clothes shop called Harrods I believe.My brother Philip sister Pat and myself Shirley Blair went to the school in Stakes hill rd where now there are flats and a special school.
I recognize a few names on here from school days.I also remember Oldings buiders across the road from our house plus the little sweet shop think it was called Parvins,I used to pop in there if Mr Smiths cows were brought up the road.
We loved going to the woods down Stakes hill rd to play ,we were out all day there and came to no harm.
