Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
So wish I could find more photos of Hyde End Corner because my late mum lived in the
end house, the one with a shop window, the year approx. 1940. She had a well in the garden on the large piece of land to the side. Has anyone photos of this house? It would be nice to see it at different angles.
Lindfield School, Hyde End House, Brimpton.
I would love to hear from anyone who has memories of Lindfield School, Hyde End House, Brimpton.
I was there from when I was six until I was eight, between 1947 - 1949, and have many recollections of the place - some good: the beautiful grounds, the old kitchen garden, topping & tailing the gooseberries, wonderful summer outings to a local stream, ...see more
The name carved on the old oak mantlepiece is that of my great great great uncle Charles. It reads "C. Hyde Esq. 1799". He must have carved it when a teenager. The beam was offered to my father in 1961 as a momento by the then owner, Mr Pettit but because of its weight and size, we couldn't transport it home! The beam now resides on the top of the fireplace at Hyde End Farm, the residence of Mr. John Pettit, the aforementioned Mr Pettit's son.
This memory relates to the time I was at boarding school in Hyde End House just down the road. We used to spend our pocket money in this village shop with its characteristic smell of bacon and tea. Of course first we had to get permission to leave the school grounds to 'go up to Mullins'. Amongst our favourites were lemonade powder, licked from a wet finger and Oxo cubes which I remember were one old penny and had eaten very slowly!
