	comment	Well I wish to add to the Wote Street Willie Artistic Critique...just to say Basingstoke has a proud track record of commissioning Willie inspired art from our Wote Street Willie to the three green pustule willies outside the restaurants in Festival Place...and what most impresses me about these green water features is the watery emissions that dribble out of the top...can this really not have been deliberate?? Are we a whole new epoch town in the great art and sex education debate??

	comment	I'm having a difference of opinion with someone about the site of the old Shrubbery Maternity Home.  Was it where Cliddesden Court is now? Also, I believe the whole of this area was once a large private estate? can you point me in the direction of maps, a website etc which might help.  I have looked on the web but cant really find what I am looking for. I remember the two flint stone lodges which were in Cliddesden Road until Cliddesden Court was built, were they part of the estate. Thanks for any help ? I think you have an excellent site [by email: Ed]

	comment	I was born in the old cottage hospital in Basingstoke in January 1946. My mother was born in Fairfields School in 1920 and her father was the caretaker there. I have never left Basingstoke and would not want to live elsewhere.

	comment	I was seeking Basingstoke images for a Young Enterprise Company at Cranbourne Business and Enterprise College. These images, and the information about Basingstoke are AMAZING. Joe responded quickly to my request for copies, and was very helpful. I found Basingstoke 20 years ago when starting an AI software company. It was very business friendly great fo communting, and it was easy to get good staff to work there. Keep up the good work. Alan

	comment	Fantastic website - very entertaining! I used to live at Tadley and worked at Woolworth's, next to Curry's and Trustee Savings Bank, 1957/8, long before the London overspill development. Favorite pubs were Hole-In-The Wall owned by Tony Charles, retired Chelsea football player, and a scruffy pub in Goat Lane. Fond memories of walking girlfriends home to Western Way after the giant fun-fair in the summer. What happened to Thorneycroft? Keep up the good work! John

	comment	I lived in Basingstoke with my partner Mark for 2 years, and I think it is the lovliest town I have ever been to. Very friendly, clean and sociable. The town is small enough to feel safe in, but big enough to enjoy. Definately not Boring!
