VILLAGERS at Clanfield enjoyed a lively social life in the 1950s.

The old village hall, in Mill Lane, was so packed for one dance that there was hardly any room to move.

Among those in the picture are Tony Harrison, who sent in the photographs, Yvonne Farmer, Dick Pitkin, Joyce Newitt, Eric Newitt, Ingeborge Ernestina Robinsteiner, Brigitte Hall, John Drinkwater and Sally Addison.

The hall was also the venue for a beauty contest, with Nina Cross, Sally Addison and Judith Pudwell among the contenders.

Another event in the village was the chapel fete at South Lawn.

This picture was taken in 1959 or 1960 and shows Rodney Stevens, Doug Thompson, Tony Harrison, Bryan Webb and Robert Blake at a stall.
