Sir.-Many years ago we used to walk along Crockford Lane in Chineham, which, in those days, used to end in a narrow trackway going past a farmhouse.

The track is still there (amazingly!) but the farmhouse disappeared under the Chineham Park development.

I often wonder what happened to the farmer - I think he originally came from Wales - and where he moved to.

I wonder if there is anybody still around who used to work on the farm or has relations who did.

It would be marvellous if somebody had some photographs of the old place - especially some very early pictures.

All that's left there now is a bland company car park.
