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.

How lovely to read all these posts and bring back forgotten memories.
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.
My grandparents Rose and Jim Youatt had a sweet shop and tobacconists on the corner of Market Street and Derby Road. I remember being there sometimes when the railway works turned out and the men would pile into the shop to get their cigarettes.
