Old & Past Hullavingtonians 1
Many thanks to Ron & Carol Bye
for providing these priceless images. I hope you enjoy them as much as
I have. If you
have any old photos of Hullavington or its people to share with us on the
web, please let me know. We can easily scan them and get them onto the
site. It would be especially good to have old school photos and shots of how
the village looked before all the post war developments took
place and of celebrations like The Coronation, VE/VJ day, the Jubilee
etc

Mr George Sterne, at the age of 17, was employed at Hullavington
station and is shown here pushing a trolley on the station platform,
with workmate, probably Harry Peters, in 1929. When Mr Sterne was on
his way to work at great Somerford station on the April 18th
1949, an airman fell from the platform at Dauntsey station
into the path of the train on which Mr Sterne was travelling. He
went straight to the airman's assistance and, according to the
newspaper report, his prompt action was the only thing that saved
the airman's life, his arm having been severed. Mr Sterne
received an award for this action and had to go to London for
the presentation
