More about this scene
The Kingsley Hotel (right), named after Charles Kingsley who often came to Whitchurch and was inspired to write of his visits to the town, is now several shop units, but The White Hart across the road is still going strong. During the coaching era, this is where passengers stayed when they changed from one long-distance coach to another.

I have many happy memories of my time at The Gables. I was there with my two brothers in 1953.
I knew Len and Mary as a child. They were both good people. My Dad was Frank Wigmore and he was also a butcher in Whitchurch. Mary's maiden name was Ashfield and she originally ran a sweet shop on the corner next to the what was Hides Ironmongery shop. I thought she was wonderfull ! The hardware shop was later run by by John and Sue Walters. They were both childhood friends of mine. I now live in ...see more
I served 22 months in the army camp in Whitchurch & I go back at least once a year to refresh my memories of a beautiful town. My eldest daughter Dawn was born there in 1957. I loved the walks around the area & the shops..My wife Betty & I used to go to the coffee bar, then the cinema.Dawn was christened at the church there on Winchester Road. Sadly the camp is no longer there. Betty worked in Overton making money(notes) for an African country. We lived on Bell Street. Alan Potter
My grandfather's surname was Waldren. He came from a large family in Whitchurch. His nephew Len owned a butcher's shop which I remember seeing as a child sometime in the 60s.
