The double fronted building in the photo was the Queens Hotel. The building to its left is the Wellington pub, the Heroes stood on the corner of Hambledon Rd, and was moved the old doctors surgrery (Dr Cooper) oppisite Hulbert Rd.
Went to Waterlooville Primary School and for a short while to what was known as the Tin Hut, and then to Cowplain.
I am trying to find out exactly where in Denmead my great uncle and aunt lived from the forties to the seventies. The wooden bungalow was called Forest View and had a very large garden. They kept bees and every year when the honey had been bottled they had a party always referrd to " the bee do". Does anyone remember them?
This is the original Heroes pub (double-fronted building on left of photo), named after the soldiers returning from the battle of Waterloo who set up camp at Waterloo having marched from Portsmouth docks on their way to London. It was near the junction with Hambledon Road and this photo is looking north. When the pub was knocked down, its replacement was build about 300 yards further north. Must have been round about 1960?
