More about this scene
A penny-farthing can be seen leaning against the front of the cycle stores in the centre of Burley, which John Wise described in 1863 as 'one of the most primitive of (New) Forest hamlets'. By the time this photograph was taken, approximately one hundred years later, it was firmly on the tourist trail.

Just been to Burley for a holiday and looking at the beautiful photos on here the place hasn't changed hardly at all. Just more traffic at times. Well worth a visit if you are ever tempted to go. The Burley Wagon rides are a must.
This photo was taken in 1964 or 65. I am standing on the mounting block and my brother John is on the grey pony in the centre. The pony is a connemara called Smokey. Wendy Howes.
My christening, three months old, with my two older sisters we were all christened here, and we also went to Sunday school each Sunday where my older sister took our class.
The Queens Head is where my Mum and Dad had their first date, after meeting on Burley Street, and went on to live in Burley and have six of their seven children, before moving to Surrey.
