From birth to 25yrs: A memory of Stoke Hammond

From Birth To 25yrs

A Memory of Stoke Hammond.

I lived at the house just at the top of photo. The outbuildings can clearly be seen in the adjoining field to the family home. I spent all my childhood years playing with my brother and friends here. I used to love watching the working barges going through the locks. My grandfather kept the Three Locks (known then as The New Inn) as publican for 16yrs. (That was when the barges were horse drawn.)
