Marchwood Twiggslane Forest Side

A Memory of Marchwood.

I was very lucky to grow up at The Cottage Twiggs lane marchwood , i was Michele Ingram then ! we had a lovely place to grow up and being cut off by the bye pass it was a place where everyone knew each other . The people I grew up around Bundays, Seviers, Smths, Nobles Strides,Dellers, Butts and Longmans to name but a few!

My happiest days were playing in the forest , we live on Barker-Mill estate land so we had a whole forest to discover .

l loved my time at Marchwood Primary school in the 1970,s ( hard to track photos or film down ) but my favourite teacher was Mrs Allen and Mrs Hosey.

I never got over leaving Marchwood, wish i could live back there now . Priced out !

Hello, I lived in MARCHWOOD IN 1963/64. Dad was in the army, and we lived at 8 Mulberry Road. My name was Mary Doyle, and we lived next door to the Ellison family. I loved living in this village, so many happy memories. Walking to school, sometimes waiting by the level crossing watching the trains whizz by. Mr Smith was headmaster and our teacher was Mr Bowen, he could be very strict, sacarstic and had favourites. But I loved the school, our classroom had a coal fire in the. Idle, guarded by wrought iron railings, never allowed these days! I remember the village sweet shop on the walk to school., and playing across the road from our house in the fields next to the church. Wonderful memories. Some of my school friends may still live there I don’t know, I cannot remember their surnames. But I was Mary, there was Rita ELLISON, Penny. Wendy, Michael STAFFORD, Lorraine Passey, Dawn Kemp. I remember crying when dad was posted up north, we arrived on a very cold and wet day in February at Liverpool Lime street station. And I felt sad. I missed Marchwood for many years. I do think anyone will remember me, but if you HELLO..
Mary.
