West Sussex memories
Can Anyone Help Me?
The origin of my family is in England. Lando Lagnese went in Italy in 1100. I want to know the etymology of Lagness. Can anyone help and contact me? Also in France and in Norway are little towns named Lagness.
WATERCRESS BEDS. W.ASHLING
I well remember the watercress beds at West Ashling as I started work there the day after I left school. Mr Pusey and his wife (he married Miss Florry Hair) were my bosses. I remember a Charlie Hotson and Harry Earl who also worked there. I left in 1960 to join the Royal Air Force Fire and Rescue. My father Jack Young worked at Hambrok for Miss Nancy Hair all his working life. John Young.
East Ashling Grange
We lived at East Ashling Grange for the first 3 years of our marriage. My husband was in the Royal Sussex Regt. and was based at the Depot in Chichester. I am doing a family history for my children and would love a photo of the Grange. We have some of the garden with our firstborn in his pram but they are not interesting to other people I feel! We were married "off the strength" because we were too young for allowances or housing. Sir John & Lady Sinclair came to our rescue and rented us the old servants' quarters for very little money. Those were very happy days. Our eldest son was baptised at Funtington Church.
Now nearly 53 years later we have lived in Western Australia since 1971 and have a family of 4 chlidren, 10 grandchildren & two great grandchildren.
Can You Help me Please?
I am recently led to believe, that my house in North Bersted, may have a ghost or some sort of spiritual activity. The house was built in 1929 and is close to the "Toad Hall" site where the Esso Petrol Station now stands. Does anyone have any information as to anything that might have happened at this site, prior to the house being built?
Not so Green Rose Green.
The shop, Oakmere pet and garden supplies, 9 Rose Green Road, was a small electrical, radio and TV business back in the early 1960s. I worked there as a young lad in 1962/63 (the cold winter), the people renting the shop were Barry Marney, Doug Ball and the TV repair man Gerry Warboys, they came from south London and Hatfield respectively. In the back garden was a small workshop where TV repairs were carried out. One job I shall never forget was to gingerly release the vacuum of redundant cathode ray tubes from the TVs by tapping away at the glass seal at the rear of the tube until a loud hiss was heard. Once safe, the solution to recycling was no more than dumping the tubes into a large pit and smashing them with a hammer!Every time a walk takes me past that shop I still wonder if they have ever been discovered?
Thatch Cottage, Singleton
We bought a thatched cottage, in much need of renovation, next door to the butchers shop. It was a tied Goodwood Cottage previously occupied by Mrs Myrtle Ticehurst who remained a tenant when she was widowed in WW1. We lived in a caravan in the front farden for nearly a year while work was carried out - I loved that old cottage so much I was prepared to put up with the dificulties in order to eventually live there. The neighbours, except for 2 brothers, were absolutely wonderful and without their help and support life in a caravan with 2 small children would have been much harder. Sadly we had to move on after only two years but I have always remembered Singleton with great affection and I still have the original copper that was removed from the wash boiler in the old kitchen and I also acquired a tapestry of Pond Cottage which hangs on the wall of my present home.
