Hillikers Faggots And Potato Fritters

A Memory of Eastleigh.

1946 and Jacqueline Jackson's memories stirred my mind again. We lived across the lane from the back gate of the fritter shop, in fact when Mum and Dad first came to Eastleigh from Andover circa 1928 they lived in the flat next door to Hilliker's - above Ron and Ennis Bayliss's fresh fish shop. One of my early youth jobs was delivering meat to the Nissen huts and prefabs on a Saturday morning. Now it all seems so long ago and far away - Oooh wait a minute, it really is!
