Saturday Guessing Game (5)

August 18, 2018 By SO53 News 10 Comments

1) There are not many brown road signs in Chandler’s Ford. Here is one – but we have erased its white letters for you to guess what the ‘tourist information’ is about. Do you know where the sign is found?

What information is on this brown road sign in Chandler's Ford?

    I got 2 out of 3 this week! I don’t remember The Cottage. When did it go? I guessed that answer as the Halfway Inn.

    As you have already said Janet, Martin is quite correct with ‘The Cottage’ … it was originally a Strong & Co. off-licence, run in my day by the Kebby(ie) Family … the son, a tall gentleman, was the village ‘Lamplighter’ and used to cycle round the village twice a day, with his long pole, turning the gas street lights on and off … being absent from the village since 1966, 1 & 2 were beyond me, but I would love to know where exactly the private school is/was in Brownhill Road, and what it was called, as I do not recall one there at all …
    Keep smiling … Doug Clews

      Thanks for the information, Doug.

      The school was a private school called Woodhill School. Daily Echo had a report about it:
      Woodhill School: School to close due to ‘difficult economic climate’

    Thanks for info re school … I have never heard of it, so presumably started after 1966 … thanks also for photo of the Hursley Road/Winchester Road junction … I recognise it now … the traffuc lights put me off as in my time, the nearest were Winchester by-pass/Twyford Road, or Burgess Road/The Avenue the other way
