Overview

This unique collection of over 220 old photographs brings together the two villages of Stubbington and Titchfield, in a fascinating pictorial study. The history of the two villages is very contrasting: today Titchfield looks much the same as it did one hundred years ago, but Stubbington has changed almost beyond recognition to a bustling commercial centre. The book depicts scenes, people and events from everyday life in and around the two communities from the Victorian period to more recent times. The book includes some of the area's well known landmarks such as Titchfield Abbey and The Green in Stubbingtonover the years. We also see images of local traders such as Bungey's saddle and harness store and Lankester & Crooks general stores. Some well known, local individuals are also featured including Eleanor and Samuel Hardiman, founders of the Peel Common Mission and Ray 'Cyril' Moore, the speedway ace. Ron Brown is a well-known, local author and journalist and many of these photographs have never been published before. The book will appeal to all who have grown up in these two contrasting Hampshire villages and especially to those who would enjoy a trip into the Stubbington and Titchfield of yesteryear.
