 Lyndhurst, the Grand Hotel c1955 (ref: L123039) |
Year: 1940s
Grand Hotel Missing Archway
My mother says the two white pillars at the entrance to the Grand Hotel once supported an archway. During WW2 the Royal Navy housed sailors in the hotel who were bussed out each day. The bus was too tall to go under the archway and so they decided to blow up the arch. The resulting explosion shattered every window in the hotel and was heard all over the village!

 Lyndhurst, Ponies on the Green, Cadnam Road c1955 (ref: L123055) |
More Information
Hi My partner owns the cottage to the left of the main Romsey road, that is Ivy cottage, next to Puckpit cottage the side of which adjoins cadnam road, Joyce purchased this in 1997 when she left the Isle of Wight and took up lectures post at Southampton Univercity. Joyce wanted to be in Lyndhurst as she grew up their, but also her mother lived in the village and it would be nice to be near her and Barbara could also see her grand daughter, Hanah grow up at the same time. Barbara lived on the oposite side of the road, at number 56 and the cottage seemed the ideal place to raise Hanah and look after her mother, the strange thing was that Joyces great grand mother used to live in Ivy Cottage when joyce was a young girl and their is one picture of her outside the cottage in th 1960s. We all now live in the same house in Lyndhurst No:12 Romsey rd, and Joyce still owns No:47 which we are now completly renovating. I am trying to find out as much as I can so that we can put together a history of the cottage from it being built to present day, I am told that the two cottages used to be one and that it was brewery? We are also trying to purchase Little Hayes a B&B sits opposite the cottage, just out of picture, to the right, but on the green. The road is Romsey rd and leads to Cadnam and the green is called Gales Green after the man who built a lot of the properties in Romsey rd, including Little Hayes No: 14, 16 and 12 were we now live. My e-mail address is satokaj@aol.com and I would be gratefull for any other information relating to the above. Ps. I am told that the two cottages used to be one and that it was brewery?

 Lyndhurst, High Street 1908 (ref: 60104) |
Year: 1920s
Family Connections.
The photograph shows my great-aunt's tea room/restaurant. She was Mrs Matilda Howells, known in the family as Aunt Tilly. I can clearly remember visiting the tea room on many occasions as a 9/10 year old child with my mother Adelaide who was Aunt Tilly's sister. Her husband (Uncle Jack) did all his own baking in a huge wood-fired oven at the rear of the premises and meals for the tea room were cooked in an equally large wood-fired range in the kitchen adjoining.
