In Chandler’s Ford: some shops have closed; some have opened. Some are about to open.
Here are a few photos for you to see some changes in Chandler’s Ford, focusing on Hursley Road, the Central Precinct, Fryern Arcade, Winchester Road, and Oakmount Road.
Hursley Road
Hursley Cafe (Facebook link: Hursley Cafe)
Hursley Cafe is run by a young man called Malik.
The Central Precinct
The Steel Tank alehouse (Facebook link: The Steel Tank alehouse). The unit used to be occupied by the HSBC bank.
Kumon Maths and English
There has been a Kumon study centre based at St. Boniface Church for years. Is this a new one? Or is the Kuman centre moving to the Central Precinct?

Finally, in Hiltingbury, the Hospice Shop closed a few weeks ago, and a new charity shop will soon open on Saturday the 9th of December. It’s called The Hiltingbury Happy Place (Facebook link).
My, how it has all changed since 1966 !!! … where exactly in Hursley Road is the Hursley Cafe, as I do not recognise that row of shops at all … the only ‘unchanged’ thing, apart from ownership (it was Mick Horn in my day and Eydman’s before that), is the butcher’s shop on the parade.
Keep smiling all.
These shops are diagonally opposite to Monks Brook pub. There is a row of shops there, next to the Co-op, by the water.
Doug,
The shops are to the left in this photo.
Thanks for that Janet … built since my time and, I guess, where the Garage used to be, near the ‘new’ co-op, between the station and what was Dean’s … how it has all changed, but I think I would still know my way around, even after 51 years !
The old Kumon study centre based at St. Boniface Church has indeed moved to the Central Precinct.
Paul, thanks for the information. This seems like a great location for learning.
