  • Chapter 28 Reminiscences – People and Places
    Chapter 28 Reminiscences – People and Places There was once a musical, later a film, called ‘Brigadoon’, about a mythical Scottish Highland village where its entire community awoke for one day every hundred years. Talking about this one day to Joan Marriott, we tried to imagine what it would be like if all those folk our generation knew, quite suddenly appeared. Those characters had helped to shape our lives and had played, in some cases, no small part in helping to make our friendly community what it is today. Old Homes Lottie Kent (97) and her sister Phyllis Sawyer aged (92) were two of eight children of George and Sarah Dudley. They well remember their early home in one of the cottages at the end of Splash Lane. Today these cottages are two dwellings; however my generation will remember them as four. How did they cope? Folk in those days were resourceful. Mr Dudley bought and erected a wooden hut on the opposite side of the lane for the boys to sleep in. At that time their father, George, was horse keeper for Mr Darby. Four out of five of the Dudley boys had worked on one or other of the local farms. Mrs Dudley with her two sisters, Mrs Kate Neal and Mrs Louie Woodward were members of the Pywell family who have lived in this community for many generations. Sheila Crane (Favell) is now the only resident of Sutton to have been born there. Although she moved to her present home soon after she married Gordon, she was born at a house called ‘Cross Keys’, reputedly a pub, which stood at the junction of Manor Road and Nene Way.

  • Scenes of Village Life, 1920-1970
    Hook Norton Local History Group Scenes of Village Life, 1920-1970 The impact within the village of depression between the wars and of total war after 1939 have been well captured in the following series of short articles that have appeared in the Hook Norton Newsletter since 2017. Most of them have been written by James Tobin, himself a native of the village who grew up here during the latter part of the period. But we begin with a childhood memory of the depression by Geoff Hillman, who was born in the village in 1919. On the Dole: Baking the Yorkshire Pudding page 2 The Hooky Bus 4 Supplying Petrol for Motor Vehicles 6 Wireless in Hook Norton before Mains Electricity 9 Special Branch investigate Security Breach 11 Hooky Children Do Their Wartime Bit 14 The Build-up to D-Day 16 School closes due to V-1 Flying Bomb attacks 18 Betty's Last Days at Brymbo 20 The Joy of Coach Travel 21 The Air Training Corps in Hook Norton 23 The Last Hooky Picture Show 25 1 Hook Norton Local History Group 1 On the Dole: Baking the Yorkshire Pudding I remember ‘Baker Haynes’. His bakery was in the area then called Downtown, at the bottom of Bell Hill, across from Woodbine Cottage where we lived in the late twenties and thirties. As an eight-year old I loved the smell of the bread and, if I was sent across to get some from the bakery, I always got into trouble with my mother for fingering a hole in the crust and pulling out some fresh bread.

C ONTENTS TO J UNE 2017 AIRFIELD REVIEW The Journal of the Airfield Research Group The journal was initially called Airfield Report , then ARG Newsletter, finally becoming Airfield Review in 1985. The number of pages has varied from initially just 6, occasio- nally to up to 60 (a few issues in c.2004). Typically 44, recent journals have been 48. There appear to have been three versions of the ARG index/ table of contents produced for the magazine since its conception. The first was that by David Hall c.1986, which was a very detailed publication and was extensively cross-referenced. For example if an article contained the sentence, ‘The squadron’s flights were temporarily located at Tangmere and Kenley’, then both sites would appear in the index. It also included titles of ‘Books Reviewed’ etc Since then the list has been considerably simplified with only article headings noted. I suspect that to create a current cross-reference list would take around a day per magazine which equates to around eight months work and is clearly impractical. The second version was then created in December 2009 by Richard Flagg with help from Peter Howarth, Bill Taylor, Ray Towler and myself.
