'old Trunk', Cove.
A Memory of Cove.
My Grandfather and Grandmother, Mary and Charles Warner lived at a house called 'Old Trunk' in Cove, until 1925. I am not sure if this was 'Old Trunk Farm' as it was just a house, with no outbuildings as far as I can see from the one photo I have.
Their children had to go under a bridge to get to school, so the story goes. The bridge sometimes flooded.
I believe the house belonged to the Army - Charles was an Instructor at the Barracks, having been wounded in the War.
After a motorbike accident, they had to leave the house and managed to buy an old Army hut which they bult on rented land in Sherborne, ner Basingstoke.
I have a photo of the house, and one taken inside the school with the pupils at their desks.
