Who’s this gentleman?
Umm the lad almost that’s in the photograph is husbands Brian’s cousin. Hilary Baker sadly gone. Umm, but err, they kept in touch, this err, they lived umm, oh dear, off the, opposite what is now Netley View lived at the, and in a house at the back of the field opposite Netley View, there is a little track that runs through there, I believe the house is still standing, I haven’t been down there to have a look. I ought to go for just for a check out.

Remind me who lived there?
(inadible) This I think it’s a reproduction, it’s not the original postcard but it would have been an original taken from of Shield Cottage on the fringe of Exbury and this is where my Father in law Cecil Tillyer grew up or lived at some time, anyway, it’s all demolished now sadly, umm, but I was never aware of being there, but I have written on the back that friend [information redacted] visited this house while at Exbury school he lived in Langley, sort of the far end of Langley towards Lepe and there is a footpath that you can go through that goes towards Exbury and he attended Exbury school. He has written on there 1949 – 1955 and he actually said the house was still standing then, but for some reason I never saw it.
