More about this scene
The black and white marks on the kerbstones indicate the junction. This is a small handsome town on the River Test with Georgian buildings that are rendered or red brick. One of the best Georgian buildings is the White Hart Hotel with its rounded corner. To the north-west of the centre is the church of All Hallows, where parish rooms were added in 1974.

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.
