Hillikers
A Memory of Eastleigh.
I remember HIllikers very well as my grandparents, LIly and Cecil Hayter, lived next door in number 65. I also remember the fresh fish shop, I believe it was called Bayliss', and across the road and round the corner was 'Blackies', Mr Blackman's sweet shop. He made delicious ice cream.

I lived in Nutbeem road and went to Hillikers often. Loved there fritters rather than chips.
Went to the Catholic school in Leigh Road and then to Chamberlayne Girls School. When I left there I got a job in the offices of Caustons the printers.
Used to walk up Dew Lane to Fleming Park in school holidays and went along Oakmount Road with my sister and friends. As it was fields and woods then we had a great time blackberry picking. We would take bowls full home to mum who would make a blackberry and apple pie. Happy days.
Her first husband was killed in the war and then she married ....can't remember his name.
It was Hillikers Faggots and Peas.
When I left school and worked for Eastleigh Council we used to go to Hillikers for lunch every day
..upstairs around a big table.
Margaret's sister owned with John the Humphries poultry farms in Twyford and another sister was married to White the builder in Twyford.
The Hillikers and Humphries came to visit me when I lived in Sydney about 40 years ago.
Wonderful memories of Hillikers shop .....it was famous locally .
I think peas pudding or was it mushy peas ?
