More about this scene

W Fountain & Son, corn, coal and seed merchants, and the Cherry Restaurant and Guest House (right) occupy a very fine but much altered mid 16th-century building: a former courtyard house named Walters, for nearly 350 years it was owned by Corpus Christi College, Oxford. In the mid 19th century the right- hand side housed the Mechanics Institute, where Charles Kingsley, the author and nationally known supporter of social reform, gave reading and writing lessons for 2d a week.

A Selection of Memories from Odiham

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Odiham

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I owned 'Hillside Cottage' an an area known as Hillside just outside the town.
My parents lived in 'The Coachman's Cottage', which can be seen on the brow of the hill in King's Street, 1950-60. 'Lovelace' is almost opposite.
My Great, Great grandparents, John and Jane Crocker lived here in 1915 before they both died.
My grandfather, and his family came from Odiham. They lived at Bury Cottage until at least 1908. I am connected to the Peskett, Clark, Champion, Pink, Lee and Windiate families of Odiham. Regards, Andrew.
