  • CCATCH – the Solent
    !∀ #∃ % # !∀ #∃ % # &∋ # (( )∗(+,−( CCATCH – The Solent Evaluation of the Beaulieu to Calshot Pathfinder A report by Dr Anthony Gallagher and Alan Inder to Hampshire County Council February 2012 ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report provides an analysis and evaluation of the CCATCH – Beaulieu to Calshot Pathfinder project; the aim being to draw out the lessons learned and areas of best practice so as to inform the wider CCATCH - the Solent project, as well as the Interreg IVa funded CC2150 and Beyond. The methods employed to gather data included interviewing the key stakeholders involved in the process as well as the engagement consultants who facilitated it. This was supplemented by carrying out a public survey to gauge the project awareness and to interview the project managers of several other coastal adaptation projects, so as to enable a comparison with the work being carried out elsewhere. The results are generally very supportive of the approach taken and the tools and techniques employed during the Pathfinder, though highlighting with some clear room for improvement and consideration. On the basis that the selection of the area and the need for the project has already been established, the lessons learned relate inter alia to the application of stakeholder engagement and the commitment to implement identifiable actions; where engagement relates to its use both at the outset of the project and as a part of a developed on-going network beyond the lifetime of the funding. Commitment to following through with specific actions identified as part of the Adaptation Plan could then be implemented. In order to agree the Plan, and identify actions, it was clear that there was a need for specialist skills, and that these had been available for the Pathfinder.

It argues that the architectural drawing techniques developed by master masons in the late twelfth century continued to be taught to the King’s masons well into the sixteenth, and that these drawing techniques lie behind the innovations in sixteenth century topographical mapping.

  • Part Two 1914 -1938 Part Two 1914 - 1938
    Part Two 1914 -1938 Part Two 1914 - 1938 Childhood and Families Alan Brind My granddad was Herbert Allen (Jack) Laxton 1884 – 1936. He married Eva Whitear from Titchfield in 1913 and they lived at 81 West St. Titchfield. Jack served for 24 years in the 108th Heavy Battery Royal Garrison Artillery which, as Sergeant, he left in 1926. He was a horseman par excellence and served the whole of WW1 in France and Belgium coming through numerous engagements uninjured. He was awarded a Mons Star with Clasp and Roses, British Army War Medal and Victory Medals. He left the army in 1926 and became a bricklayer and worked on the building of Titchfield Primary School and also the Embassy and Savoy cinemas in Fareham. It was ironic that despite having worked with horses throughout his army career, he died, aged 52, following an infection due to a bite from a horse fly. Donald Upshall As I was the first grandchild in the Upshall family I was named after my uncle who was killed in WW1. If you look in the church you will see his name on the remembrance plaque. My father started the garage on East Street when I was born. Now, in 2015, we've been in business 89 years. Today you don't realise how narrow the roads were then. There were no kerbs. You just walked along the edge of the road. But there wasn’t much traffic then. It is so different now of course. I remember the main A27 road. I used to push my brother in his pushchair all the way in to Fareham where they had all these Hornby toys.

  • English Coast Defences
    ENGLISH COAST DEFENCES GEORGE CLINCH PART I ENGLISH COAST DEFENCES PREHISTORIC CAMPS Round the coast of England there are many prehistoric earthworks of great extent and strength. These fall generally under the heads of hill-top fortresses and promontory camps. The works comprised under the former head are so arranged as to take the greatest possible advantage of natural hill-tops, often of large size. On the line where the comparatively level top developed into a more or less precipitous slope a deep ditch was dug, and the earth so removed was in most cases thrown outwards so as to form a rampart which increased the original difficulties of the sloping hill-side. The latter type of earthwork, called promontory camps from their natural conformation, were strengthened by the digging of a deep ditch, so as to cut off the promontory from the main table-land from which it projected, and in some cases the sides of the camp were made more precipitous by artificial scarping. An examination of these types of earthworks leads to the conclusion that they were probably tribal enclosures for the safe-guarding of cattle, etc.; that, strictly speaking, they were not military works at all, and, in any case, had no relation to national defence against enemies coming over-sea. One finds in different parts of the country a prevalent tradition that the Romans occupied the more ancient British hill-top strongholds, and the name “Caesar‟s Camp” is popularly applied to many of them. If such an occupation really took place it was, in all probability, only of a temporary character.

  • Lepe to Fawley History - Rosemary Devereux-Jones (July 2019)
    Summary of Historical Potential Lepe to Fawley history - Rosemary Devereux-Jones (July 2019) Statement of Historical Potential for Lepe to Fawley This trail paths to the east of the Dark Water River are shown on Thomas Milne’s map of 1791 and shown as rights of way, including the paths to the west in Exbury, on the OS map of 1810. The Cadland Estate is owned by R Drummonds Esq – large portions of this land is later sold to construction of Fawley Refinery. The trail covers areas extensively used during WW2 and for D-Day preparation and activity. An area on Badminston Common includes the holding tank area for PLUTO used during WW2 for fuel supplies. Near Mopley pond are the remains of the pump house used in the PLUTO operation. There are several remains of WW2 military installations throughout the trail area. The trail includes areas of ancient woodland at Chale Wood on path 13 and Calshot National Nature Reserves and SSSi on path 4 which is nationally important for overwintering waders and wildfowl. Indicated on the ArcGIS map is an ironworks on path 503 on the River Dark Water. There is the site of a brickworks, brick kiln and claypits on Whitefield Rough, mentioned in the 1841 census, next to clay pits to the south of this footpath. The bricks are said to have been used around Exbury and Beaulieu. Mills are indicated at Mopley and Stanswood on Taylor’s map 1759 (paths 12a and 10) although the Mills archive mentions only Stanswood watermill. There are stories of smuggling with the Mopley area being used for storage of contraband.
