Happy Days

A Memory of Fawley.

Born in the Dibden Perlieu nursing home in 1943, I then lived in both Blackfield and Fawley. Growing up was a challenge in those days, but we survived. I attended school at both Fawley and Hardley.
Summers were spent on the raft at Lepe, fishing for eels in the sluice, or paddling my canoe around to Calshot and back.
I worked for KEN Wheeler (Fawley Newsagents) and then did a stint with John Holland (milkman) before leaving for Australia in 1960.
Finding this website has bought back many memories and I hope that a few people from the Fawley/Blackfield area will contribute to the memories.

Did you ever come across a Smith Family from Blackfield, who before lived at Butts Ash Dibden, the children were Eileen Smith, Norman, Audrey, Lorry, Raymond, Sydney, Ethel, Leslie...
I believe they were from a Romany Traveller back ground...
It was on the small holding at walkers lane Blackfield that they would grow strawberries and sell them door to door...
