- 27 Aug 2020: A recording of a Zoom event, during which Michael Edwards, lifelong professional photographer of Havant shared some fascinating pictures of Havant 'then and now'. The presentation ends with some historical photographs of St Faith's - as a bonus!
I loved Ditman and Malpas in Havant back in the 80s used to visit all the time great shop.
Thank you for posting this. I live in America now and miss Vacant , I lived there growing up at the time of the Beatles. My first job was at the Bear hotel.my sister worked at the Clarks shoe shop. Thanks again!
I love that you misnamed Havant "Vacant"!
Just about perfectly describes the town centre nowadays!
Thanks for this, great info 👍
Thank you very much for a lovely trip down memory lane!
Just after the war Dittman and Malpas were in a small shop in Lake rd. Portsmouth after having been bombed out of the Commercial Rd. shop. The shop in Lake Rd. was purely seeds, and to go in you were confronted with the walls jast a mass of small drawers containing seeds, etc. One would buy these seeds in ounces and were put into a small paper packet for your convenience. Lsrger seeds like peas and beans obviously went in larger packets. Then Lake Road was demolished and the shop appeared in Havant. mid sixties or early seventies, I really can`t remember the exacy date, but I really miss them.
At 1.06 Cleeves Garage, now my workshop.
What a great find !! Thankyou Tom for posting this and a big thank you to Mike for his presentation and ruminations
Absolutely love this video of Havant, I remember so much of it, I was born in Havant in 1970 & still live in Havant, I wish I could go back & see the bits that were before I was born, fantastic memories, thank you for bringing back so many childhood memories ❤️
Very interesting. I remember Michael Edwards as school photograper when I attended Trosnant Junior school in the 50's. He drove around in a little black vintage Austin car. Many thanks.
Fantastic, just brilliant! Thank you for putting it up.
My pleasure! Sorry I missed the first few seconds!
This was one of the most interesting videos I’ve watched regarding Havant. Lovely to see plenty of photos are I have never seen before
Many thanks for posting this Tom, and particularly to Michael for delivering it. A wonderful historical record.
My pleasure, Bob. Sorry I missed the first few seconds!
Thank you for this - very interesting and lots of memories. I wish my parents could have seen it too - they would have found it fascinating.
Today is our 57th Wedding anniversary and you took our photos. Also my Gran Mrs Charman lived in the house where Dorothy Marshall had her studio, Miss Marshall was also my Godmother. Spent a lot of my school holidays at my Grans.
44:00: West Street Arcade. A splendid place full of small and fledgling businesses. As a boy I was also nobbled for cycling along it by the local PC Plod on my way home from choir practice at St Faith‘s.
