    The Old Meon Valley Railway Line

    The Old Meon Valley Railway Line Complaint to Local Government Ombudsman about project undertaken by Hampshire County Council 1 Complaint to Local Government Ombudsman This complaint is being made on behalf of the Meon Valley Old Railway Line Users Group, an informal collection of around 2,600 people who use the old railway line. Contact: Martin Montague, 8 Barnes Wallis Road, Segensworth East, Fareham, Hampshire. PO15 5TU [email protected] 0370 490 0000 Complaint against: Hampshire County Council Address: The Castle, Winchester, Hampshire SO23 8UJ Nature of complaint: Works on the old Meon Valley railway line / Meon Valley Trail Nature of complaint / Introduction The old Meon Valley railway line (or as Hampshire County Council has rebranded it “The Meon Valley Trail”) is a much-loved 11-mile bridleway stretching from the village of West Meon to Knowle Junction, near Fareham. It runs along a stretch of the disused Alton to Fareham railway line which was closed in 1962 as part of the Beeching cuts and has been enjoyed by walkers, horse riders and cyclists for around 40 years. Between 2014 and 2015, Hampshire County Council, together with its partner the South Downs National Park, undertook a project to “upgrade” the old railway line using £400,000 of public money. However, as this document will demonstrate, it is now apparent that Hampshire County Council and the South Downs National Park rushed through the project having undertaken no proper consultation, without planning permission, having inadequate communication with stakeholders, weak management and, when faced with questions and criticism, the two authorities chose to attack or ignore their critics rather than try to address their concerns.

The martlet or swallow is a favorite device in European heraldry, and has assumed a somewhat unreal character from the circumstance that it catches its food on the wing and never appears to light on the ground as other birds do. It is depicted in armory always with wings close and in pro­ file, with no visable legs or feet. The martlet is the appropriate "differ­ ence" or mark of cadency for the fourth son. It is modernly used to signify, as the bird seldom lights on land, so younger brothers have little land to rest on but the wings of their own endeavor, who, like the swallows, become the travellers in their season.

AND DERBY 1906 [All Rights Reserved} TO THE MOST NOBLE The Duke of Wellington, k.g. THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED BY HIS GRACE'S KIND PERMISSION PREFACE may claim in a certain sense to be HAMPSHIREthe premier county of England, since though not quite so ancient a kingdom as Kent or Sussex, it " is, as Grant Allen calls it, the real original nucleus of the British Empire." It is also one of the most interesting of the counties, from the importance in early English history of its charming capital, the architectural value of its Cathedral and three of its other churches, its beautiful combinations of woodland and sea, its possession of more genuine forest than all the rest of England put together, and its chief place in the naval position of England, owing to the two great harbours afforded by its fortunate coast-line. To an editor of Memorials of Old Hampshire the first difficulty, therefore, is clearly of selection. It would not be difficult to imagine another volume of the present size made up only of those subjects that—for one reason or another—I have been obliged to pass over.

    A Place-Name Survey Introduction

Saxons in the Meon Valley: A Place-Name Survey Dr Kelly A. Kilpatrick Institute for Name-Studies, University of Nottingham Introduction The Meon Valley in southern Hampshire is defined by the River Meon, a chalk river, which rises at the village of East Meon and flows to the Solent at Titchfield Haven. The Meon Valley area contains the parishes of East and West Meon, Warnford, Exton, Corhampton, Meonstoke, Droxford, Soberton, Wickham and Fareham (for Titchfield); also associated with this region are the parishes of Shedfield, Swanmore, Privett, Froxfield, Steep, Langrish and East and West Tisted. Place-names preserve information about topographic, linguistic and cultural conditions at the time of their formation, and therefore are a useful resource for investigating the past. The toponymic survey presented below is intended to compliment the ‘Story of the Saxons in the Meon Valley’ project, and to provide a general synopsis of the region’s Anglo-Saxon history through place- name evidence. This survey covers the geographical scope of the field-work carried out in the project. Firstly, an introduction to the Jutes of southern Hampshire is presented, followed by a discussion of the Meon River and the Meonware. The following toponymic survey adheres to the structure of the English Place-Name Society county survey volumes. The place-names are organised hierarchically by hundreds, then parishes. Major settlements are discussed first in each parish, followed by minor names of etymological interest arranged alphabetically.

    The Old Station House | Sages Lane | Privett | Alton | Hampshire The Old Station House Sages Lane | Privett | Alton Hampshire | GU34 3NP Guide Price £1,100,000 Historic Former Railway Station built in 1903 Part of The Meon Valley Railway Converted into a Stunning Family Home Original Character Features Throughout Lovely Garden with Outlook over Fields Excellent Parking, Garage with Workshop Situated in the South Downs National Park and Privett Conservation Area An opportunity to own an historic building. Situated in a commanding position on a disused railway, Privett Station has been sympathetically converted into a unique, individual home, whilst completely retaining its character feel. Built in 1903, it is one of only three remaining stations on the former Meon Valley Railway, which ran for 22 miles between Alton and Fareham, part of The London and South Western Railway. Privett Station was at the summit of the line at 519 feet (158 metres) above sea level. Due to its remote location, the station was not much used and eventually closed at the same time as the railway itself in 1955. All the stations on the line were built to an extraordinary high standard and incorporated impressive passenger facilities, which included a large booking office with a vaulted timber framed roof, and separate 'gentlemen's' and 'ladies' waiting rooms. Designed in a 'Tudor Revival' style, the station is brick-built with attractive Portland stone mullioned windows and gables. The long platform remains, with its original lamp posts, adding greatly to the property's character. The large garden and grounds extend to about two acres, with a large lawn and beautiful views over the neighbouring fields.
