Ratford Cottage - Lyn McCulloch (15th Mar 2012 - 10:54:32) I now realise that what I thought was Natford is actually Ratford. I also notice that Ratford seems to have become Radford. Can anyone tell me where Ratford/Radford Cottage, Liphook was? Thanks, Lyn McCulloch nee Huntingford(Huntingford One Name Study) There is no mention on the internet of Radford ever being Ratford, do we assume that a spider wrote the address ? There is no Radford Cottage listed on the Royal Mail Address Database.

Re: Ratford Cottage - Lyn McCulloch (15th Mar 2012 - 18:36:08) I have a post card addressed to Mrs Huntingford 'at' Ratford Cottage, Liphook. In 1911 Charles and Ann Huntingford lived in Queen St. This, I gather is now called Haslemere Road. In 1881 they lived at 4 Stable Cottages, Bramshott. When Charles was 1 he lived near the Anchors Inn next to a Draper's Shop. I expect Radford Cottage is long gone. Just hope that somebody local might know where it was. Thanks for any help, Lyn

Re: Ratford Cottage - Bea (15th Mar 2012 - 19:42:47) I vaguely remember there being a Radford Cottage in Conford, not sure if this info is relevant to your enquiry?

Re: Ratford Cottage - Michael (16th Mar 2012 - 11:58:21) Lyn ,Re Radford Cottage. On our way to Bramshott Boys School i believe we we used to go past a Radford Cottage which was opposite the now Radford Park entrance, next to where the bus stop is now. I think the cottage disapeared when they built the dual carriage way in the late 60s. There used to be a very small footpath around it through bushes ideal for hide and seek! Hope this helps

Re: Ratford Cottage - P Weyland (20th Mar 2012 - 10:12:47) I seem to recall seeing a very old postcard of Radford Bridge and it was spelt 'Ratford'. Maybe someone from the preservation society can shed some light on this?

Re: Ratford Cottage - Dawn Hoskins (20th Mar 2012 - 15:11:35) Having spent an enjoyabe couple of hours at the exibition being held at the Rural Life Centre, which was called Liphook - the coaching town that grew, I can confirm that Radford used to called Ratford. I do not know how or when it changed though - maybe you should pop into the Millennium Centre to talk to the preservation society. It is open most days and free to enter. Dawn
