dwmcn Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I enjoy most of Don's programs. I assume most people here know he had a stroke a couple of years ago and was off TV for a time.I heard that our beds, mattresses, blankets, and wardrobes in Winchester were from the army. I am 72, so not all that young.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwmcn Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Oooooo, I'd say Don is more Lib Demmy. I was a member for many years before the coalition happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwmcn Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Is Ashley Terrace a Street or an area? It isn't on my old map of Winchester.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cendrillon Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I think it was a small street in the town, the name sticks in my mind but it was a long time ago and I could have got it wrong! There was a song made up about a girl called Brenda who worked with us, it began "Brenda works on Ashley Terrace................" that's how I remember ASHLEY TERRACE. I will P.M. you the rest of the song if you are interested.[;-)][8-|]I guess all this digging and excavating has a link with the gardening programmes [;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwmcn Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 The name sounds familiar to me as well, but still can't find it.Yes, I figure gardening and diggind a site are sort of associated.I had a nurse called Brenda... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardengirl Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 These might be a bit far back in time, but show Ashley Terrace:http://www.cwthome.co.uk/trust/wind06/ac.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cendrillon Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Yes too far back BUT it could well have been the site I remember. It was probably a case of the old houses having been pulled down and us "digging" before the site was redeveloped. (It's probably a boring shopping centre now![:-))]) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwmcn Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I worked on a site in Victoria Rd in Winchester for the City Rescue Archaeologist where they knocked down a row of houses to put in a ring road. The ring road was never constructed and new houses replaced the ones knocked down. Odd how so many people here have Biddle/Winchester/Repton/St Albans/France connections. The City Archaeologist I worked for owns a house in Normandy. On the other hand, I worked on Native American sites for The Cleveland Museum of Natural History when I wasn't in England. Never saw Monty Don there either.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwmcn Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I found Ashley Terrace in the Fifth Interim Report of the Winchester Excavations, 1966.

Don't forget I was very young then and even now am not nearly as old as David.[:)]As to why so many on this forum were involved and it being strange that we all have connections / links / property in France, it's probably because we are the adventurous sort of person!

dwmcn Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Ashley Terrace is also in the Third and Fourth Interim Reports of 1964 and 1965. A section drawing shows a ditch with burials in it going below the cellars of houses number 2 and 3. The section runs from south to north and it is suggested that the ditch is Roman.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwmcn Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Ooooo, I seem to have upset another poster. Sensitve person, I guess.Ashley Terrace is listed under the Orams Arbor site for the most part.

dwmcn Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Yep, I have seed it. One last comment, as this thread is reallllly off-topic now and some posters might find it is becoming tedius. According to the Interim Report, you must have stayed at Bushfield Camp. Monty Don says hi to everybody here on another social network.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
