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!).

The Library
Before Chantry Way was developed, the town library was situated in the building on the right of this picture. The thrill of being able to indulge myself, for free, in books, books and more books still resides in me today. I swear I can still smell the distinctive aroma of the building once you stepped through its doors!

happy days
I was stationed in the RE's in Andover - Barton Stacey camp. Remember shopping in 'International Stores' supermarket as they had good looking girls ! I also recall being in a cafe when some of the Troggs came in. Happy days, must return for a visit some day.

Saturday afternoon shopping
I do remember Andover about this time. We lived in Tidworth at the time and my father had a car with petrol allowance as he was a Barrack officer. We went to Andover, mum, myself and him every Saturday afternon and had to park centrally. It had all gone when we last went - just modern car parks now. He did a truly nineteen forties thing and sat in the car whilst we shopped. What a lovely childhood I did have there.

Extracts From Upper Clatford & 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.
