The Marlow family of publicans

My great-grandfather was Samuel Marlow and a publican at the time of his marriage in 1897. His father was William Marlow and my family tree research has led me to the White Hart in Eversley Cross where there were two succesive landlords of these names.

I can't help wondering if one of these gents posing in the Francis Frith view of the pub might be one of the Marlow landlords!

New Inn Eversley/Finchampstead Border

My great grandfather,Henry Berriss was publican of the New Inn (on the Eversley/Finchampstead border) now known as the Tally Ho.

Addition to Cove in wartime

The two stores at the bridge across from West Heath Farm run by Jim Blunden (who had a daughter Pam Blunden) were stores we frequented every Friday, namely the one next to  the railway track. This was run by Kath Owen. Her husband had been killed during military exercises in Aldershot, but Kath continued to run Owens Sweet Shop. I remember we used to buy bags of sherbert and suck it out with a licorice straw. Does anyone else remember going to Owens Sweet Shop?  My name back then was Anne Ainsley, and I lived at The White House, 16 Minley Rd.
