Flaming Park
A Memory of Eastleigh.
I was born in 1942 in Passfield Avenue our house was opposite the car park of Fleming Park, I spent a lot of my childhood there. Mr Thornton was the resident park keeper and would sometimes give us used tennis balls to play on the courts,
Vince Hawkins the boxer lived in Passfield Avenue and he bought his parents a fridge ( very grand) which was proudly on display in the hallway for all to see!
A big occasion at the park was the yearly police sports day does anyone remember this?
I remember the weekly rock and roll nights at the town hall how we loved it.
Lots of memories could go on and on.
