More about this scene
Famous as a yachting centre, Hamble has long thrived on its close proximity to the river of the same name, with its shipbuilding associations, yacht clubs and marinas. Originally a small fishing village renowned for oysters, crabs and lobsters, Hamble was later to become a sprawling community with the accent on leisure and the aircraft industry.

My father was the post man in Hamble in the 20s. He was born 1913.Just before he died at the age of 90 I took him back to Hamble.He remembered most of the names of the people in the cottages ,he showed me the two trees that him and his mates used as goal post when he went to the school in School lane, they had grown a bit by then. He remembers the Hookers bakery , and he was in the sea scouts. His name was REG VARE, he died 10 years ago , so I doubt if any of his mates are left
