Growing Up In Farnborough

A Memory of Farnborough.

The picture of Farnborough High Street facing the A21 at Farnborough Green evokes memories of the sweet shop, Hills the newsagents, a small "supermarket", the butcher's shop and a small shoe repair shop.

To the left of where the picture was taken was the old Scout hut where once a week us younger boys congregated in the Cubs. Straight ahead in the picture is the old Farnborough Primary School that I attended until 1956.

The old houses are still there in 2008 as is the A21, a little busier than it was in 1955!! The newsagents disappeared to be replaced by a house only recently. The sweet shop became a supermarket and the old "supermarket" is now an Estate Agents. That's progress for you.
