The Rec

The "Rec" was the place to be in the 1970's when you lived on the Cedar Rd Estate. We lived just round the corner on Elmdale Rd and had a garden which backed on the Rec. This was a good short cut into the Rec. Lived there as a young ...Read more

The Gardens Remembered

Caption For Burley, C1955

In the 1960s this New Forest village was home to a white witch who roamed around with a crow. A man is hunched over his parked car (right), no doubt tinkering with the engine.
