Dad used to take us in a rowing boat on the lake. We had to take turns rowing and we were only 4, 5 and 6 years of age. Not sure health and safety would approve now!!! I remember being called in eg "number 2 your time is up". Great memories.

Caption For Eastleigh, The Town Hall C1960

The old Town Hall is a dignified building of mellow brick with a clock beneath an elegant cupola.The building looks just the same now as it did in about 1960; nowadays, part of it is a dance and
