More about this scene
All looks peaceful and quiet in this photograph. Today all roads seem to lead into Liphook, and it is a busy, noisy place. The author Flora Thompson lived here for a time just before the 1930s because her husband worked at the local post office. She wrote part of her book 'Lark Rise to Candleford' here.

My uncle (PW Brooker) was manager of Smorthwaites chemists for many years in the mid 1900's. Mr Smorthwaite himself was a very old man... I remember meeting him once in the back of the shop where my aunt and others dispensed medicines. This photo suggests that originally the shop was on the corner of the Square( later occupied by Moss Brothers) and Haslemere road, whereas I knew it to be further back in the square directly opposite the Anchor tree.
My Uncle Fred had a watchmaker and Jewellers shop in Liphook Square. (F H Payne) Also my Uncle Percy (P W Brooker) was manager of the chemist shop also in the Square. (Smorthwaites)
My twin brother Colin and I were born at Chiltley Place on the 28th of July 1942 due to the bombing of Portsmouth. My father was serving in the Royal Navy on the hospital ship HMS Liverpool in the far east when we were born. My parents and brothers last visited Chiltley place in the late 1950's. Recently I received a copy of Chiltley Place and Goldenfields as a gift. Colin now lives in Cornwall with his family, I now live in the United States. Best wishes, Barry.
