Buckinghamshire memories
My Days in Whitchurch.
I spent many days in Whitchurch, where my first love of my life lived, Sandra Tickner. I would love to get in touch with her again, and see how our lives have been, without each other. Many great times were had in the village. I also remember Gillian Bond and Audrey Radwell, they were school friends of mine.
Whitchurch, Buckinghamshire
I have found the love of my life, Sandy Tickner, thank you for your help in finding her, it has made my life a whole lot better.
Kingsbury
The WWI tank was removed because little boys used to enter and use it as a toilet. It exploded when the welder went to work on it because there was still petrol in the fuel tank, not ammunition. The welder flew across Kingsbury and landed, dead, in front of Ivatt's shoe shop (the signs are still up on the wall). The Rockwell has reverted to its original name (thank heavens), why are pub names changing all the time? The Hen & Chicks became "Big Hand Moe's", look what happened to it!
Canal Bank Down From Park St. Bridge
I never saw this part of the canal as shown in this photo, the opposite bank was the site of Frith's, the builders' supply company. My father was a salesman for Frith's for many years. The location was called Hilda's Warf, and earlier in the 50's & the 40's supplies such as bathroom tiles were delivered by narrow boat. (Tiles are fragile & the canal was a smooth ride.) Of course Frith's is long gone, its now a row of townhouses.
Whiskin's Grocers
In the 1871 census records my Great, Great, Great Grandfather owned a grocery store in this street. His name was Charles Whiskin and he lived here with his wife Susannah and Catherine, Edward and Ernest his children. Many other relatives lived here also along with a nurse maid and a chap called Henry Green who again worked in the shop.
My Home
The shop just to the right of W. H.Smith is The Mac Shop where my father was manager. This was my home from 1955 until university, 1974
The Manager of The Bulls Head Hotel.
My father Bill Thomas was one of the last managers of the Bulls Head Hotel. He helped the police when they stayed at the hotel working on the Great Train Robbery.
