Shared Memories of Micheldever
 Micheldever, Church Street 1951 (ref: M177006) |
Year: 1956
My Nan's Cottage
The cottage in Church St was my nan's, Mrs Elsie Collins, she died about 1969. I remember staying with her when I was little. I haven't been back since she died. I believe a neighbour bought it and converted it into one cottage. I remember the old black range and 2 kettles, little john and big john, and the front door key was about 6 inches long, and granddad going out the back field and collecting mushrooms for breakfast.

Granny's Home
The Micheldever cottage with the steps facing the camera is where my mother Evelyn Rogers (nee Chalk) grew up with her brothers Alfred and Charles, and sisters Maude, Ivy, Kate (Kit) and later Ruby Hansford. Henry Arthur Gale Chalk was my mother's father who died in 1908, the year she was born. My granny Elizabeth remarried to Arthur Hansford in 1912. We believe that the cottage was originally called Tudor Cottage, with the corner cottage in the foreground being the Post Office cottage in later years, its entrance being at the side through the gate. My sister Ruby visited and stayed in the cottage in the 1930's and 40's but I only have memories of several visits in the 1950's as a small boy and that it seemed a long walk from the station.
