Absolutely Fantastic article. I remember sailing on Ann Speed in the 60’s, when I was at Bon Marche, Brixton, having previously left the Merchant Navy. The crew was Freddie Everard- Bakker, Ian Colquhoun, Stanley Cordell and myself (general dog’s body!!)
Thank you for this interesting account of your memories of Leckford Camp.
I grew up at new farm I was a year old when my parents moved to Leckford in 1961, Leckford holds very special childhood memories for me. Myself and my friends spent every summer playing on the camp in the playroom, we played darts, table tennis there were also 3 old rocking horses from small to large size and an old record player. Every so often they would hold a disco with someone from the village as DJ. We made so many friends from London, Birmingham and Liverpool that we met up them with every year, we went swimming at the Leckford Pool every day during the summer holidays and would stay there all day, the campers were picked up and taken back for their lunch so it was heavenly to have the pool all to ourselves. I went to Sunday school at Leckford every Sunday it was a very important part of village life for some services like Easter and mothering Sunday we would be picked up in the estates mini bus and driven to Longstock for the service. We had a Sunday school outing every summer to either Bournemouth or Boscome stopping of in the new forest for a picnic. At Christmas we were taken every year to the pantomime in Salisbury, on the way home we were all given a sandwich, packet of crisps and a penguin biscuit. I left home in 1976 but also worked on the farm picking Apple’s when my son was a baby, in Later years I worked on the mushroom farm at weekends.
My brother Godfrey is in the middle of the front row looking curiously to the left and my sister Nina is the fairy right at the top of the picture. Both were evacuees from London, with my parents Alwin and Rene. They all lived first in Bridge House, now the Dower House.
In 2017 the 2 year old being held in the left of this image revisited Odney as a special treat for his 80th birthday. He was most surprised to see that his photo had been included in an exhibition about the Odney Club and even more surprised when we told him that we knew this and that a lunch table was waiting for him in the club as a special ‘VIP’ visitor.
Dear Leon, Thank you for your comment, I have updated the page with the correct spelling and checked for further errors but as the link is automatically generated, I am sorry to be unable to rectify this. Our Memory Store sites are run by a very small team of Partners and volunteers and unfortunately mistakes are sometimes missed until they are pointed out to us, so thank you for this. Kind regards, Imogen
The heading to this page is a spelling mistake… “Kitchwen Utensils”
The link to this page is the same spelling mistake.
This is the 2nd page I have read and so far I have found three careless errors.
