More about this scene
To the right at 27 Market Place is the post office. In July 1965 this was transformed into the Westminster Bank, where Mr Gambrill was the manager - he had been with the bank for 31 years. Boots is still here, and there is a regular market. In 1956 Norman Thelwell, the world-renowned cartoonist who had produced 60 covers and 1,500 illustrations for 'Punch' magazine, moved to Braishfield near Romsey, where he gained a reputation for exemplary property restoration. In 1968 the Thelwells moved to nearby Timsbury where Thelwell fulfilled a lifetime ambition by building a lake close to his beloved River Test.
