Bull Lane

A Memory of Waltham Chase.

I can almost see Bull Lane from there. We lived in 'Summerfield' half way up that lane.
I remember Mr Wilbey's Ironmongers. He had a massive walrus moustache, and a shop that was a genuine museum in itself. There was Woodwards Store halfway up the main street, and I think W.C.Chase ran the Post Office Stores in this picture. There was another shop almost opposite , and the number 69 bus to Fareham ran from a few yards further on. I remember waiting for that bus with my friends as we all went to various schools in Fareham. Several of us to Wykeham House, a few to the Girls Grammar, and the rest to Prices.

I live in Clubhouse Lane, Waltham Chase and have put lots of photographs of the village including Bull Lane and Woodward's shop on the village website at walthamchase.wordpress.com. You can also see the 1939 register in the history section. In 1939 the Post Office was run by E. W. Challis and his family. Best wishes to you and your family (during lockdown due to COVID-19)
