More about this scene
The Star Inn is now more of a brasserie than a pub, and the adjacent post office has been replaced by a television and video shop. Lying to the west of Andover, Weyhill is best known for its fair - the largest in England - which, during much of the 18th century, lasted for a whole week. Until the Second World War, sheep and horses were traded.

A Selection of Memories from Weyhill
For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Weyhill
Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
There was a junction where the roundabout is now. Dunnings yard was opposite. Where the new houses/fairground is now and it had loads of big sheds and barns. They used to make coffins there and they would all be standing up outside like soldiers when we first lived here. There was always a building crane up there too. Love the pictures.
I served as an altar boy in this church in the late 1930's. Even at that time not many locals attended the services. My family an I lived in The Bell. I never could get my sister to come to church with me!
I was in the Wolf Cubs (as they were known at that time) and we used to meet in a room above the old stables at Weyhill. I was there from about 1956. Loved every minute of it. Then went up to the Boy Scouts at the age of 11 in 1959. The Scout Group was known as the "6th Andover, Penton and District" I had two elder brothers in the same group, Roy and Peter. If you remember any of us then please get in touch.
