Sweet shop run...
this street is the scene of many a frantic cycle to the sweet shop (aka village shop) at the bottom of the hill, eager to hand over our week's pocket money to Mr Knight who ran the shop.
This view is roughly from the pub on the corner (the red lion?), that was run by a landlord that strangely became rather irate when his triumph stag was pelted with mud balls from a strategically positioned hedge. happy days...

On Parade
March 1954. I had been in the RE's 10 months when I first set eyes on the transit camp in Barton Stacey better known as Barton Stalag. I was sent there on transit for Korea along with another half a troop ship load of squadies. I remember a Sergeant Major who lived there and had a wooden bungalow with what seemed umpteen kids and was in charge of our draft. For some unknown reason we would parade each morning on the concrete paths around our huts and in front of his bungalow and not on that huge square for some unknown reason. He would carry a large stick this a big knob on the end which he used ...read more here

A Childhood Revisited
So many memories, where to start? I was born 1961 and grew up in The Crescent, just off Weyhill Road.......the rattling trains full of gravel making the house shake, the outside toilet (visits in the middle of the night in winter were at olympic record level), Mrs Mabeys apple trees...scrumping i think it was called! The smell of the pig farm if the wind was in the wrong direction on a hot summers day, building camps in Gallaghers Woods and wow betide anyone who dared venture in! The Big Bonfire at King George Road playing fields, Portway School and its fantastic playground (Health & Safety bods would be quaking in their shoes now, but OMG was so fab!).

Extracts From Fullerton & Hampshire books
A quarter of a century apart, this and the previous
view of the High Street show how little it changed
throughout the 20th century, with the exception of
traffic problems and an increased number of tourists.
Apart from the introduction of a pedestrianisation
scheme and some new shop fronts, it remains much
the same today.
An extract from from"Winchester Pocket Album".
Beyond the water meadows of the River Itchen is the Iron Age
hillfort of St Catherine’s Hill, the site of a maze which perhaps
was used by penitent local monks, who would be blindfolded as
they attempted to trace its paths. The view from the hill is one of
the finest in Hampshire.
An extract from from"Winchester Pocket Album".
Westgate dominated the western defences of the old
city. It dates originally from the 12th century, and
was reinforced during the Hundred Years War in
anticipation of an attack by the French. The entire
structure stands on the site of an earlier Roman fortification.
An extract from from"Winchester Pocket Album".
A walk from the Square brings the visitor across a green and open
space to the Norman Cathedral. Tourists come from all over the
world to visit this architectural and spiritual gem.
An extract from from"Winchester Pocket Album".
Looking along Broadway with the statue
of Alfred the Great clearly visible, this
view shows Winchester Cathedral in all
its glory. Notice the army barracks on the
hill beyond.
