📢 BASINGSTOKE! 📢
Are you a local history enthusiast? Do you have any photos of Basingstoke's past?
You may be able to help us! We're looking for any photos of The Haymarket from its long history. Or if you have personal stories, maybe from its time as a roller rink or cinema, we'd love to hear them.
Please comment below any photos or stories you have. If it's a larger collection, then please give us a message!
