Pat Dunning Remembers
Author: Through Our Ancestors' Eyes
Pat’s family had a background in commoning, although circumstances had forced them to find an alternative life when she was young; her father worked on the railway in Totton. Pat and her family returned to commoning life when she was in her teens, starting back by owning and running ponies on the New Forest. In this interview, her reminiscences include the Ashurst Drift and the Queen’s visit to the New Forest in 1979.
