I was born in 1 Georgina Cottages. My family have a long history in the village. My first school was just down the hill from where I lived at the time, it is now a large house. In the club where the new shop is was my local to have a drink (I had my first beer there at 17 years old). I played snooker there every Friday night when me and my old man (Dad) went down the club, my playing partners were Jack Chick and Jim Langford, God rest their souls. My dad worked on the farm. That's all at the moment. Any one that knows me, please reply e-mail: christopherblachford@hotmail

RE: RE: Home
My Grandparents Peggy and Andrew Gourdie lived in Ivy Cottage in Witchampton and my mum Ella grew up there. Some of my earliest memories are of the village and walking to the Post Office with my Grandmother to buy icecreams. My parents were married in the church and I was christened there. My Dad and Grandfather worked at the papermill and I remember the minnows in the river and being pushed backwards and forwards on the weighbridge by my grandfather. It was a beautiful village and a big part of my early childhood.
