A little young to fully understand what was going on – I soon learnt! We were living in the white cottage just up from what is now Rostron Close in Chalk Hill. In those days it was attached to the Scaffolding (Great Britain) depot and an aunt and uncle lived next door and shared our pantry as a makeshift air raid shelter. This room had a door leading into the back yard. My first vivid memory was (I think) during the Blitz on Southampton. The most frightening incident was my father and uncle holding onto the door which was shaking from the blast of bombs.

In addition the presence of a new roundabout at the Dodwell Lane / Pylands Lane / bypass junction will assist in slowing speeds on Dodwell Lane / Bursledon Road (Sunday’s Hill). This alone will provide a significant benefit to pedestrians and cyclists along this route. 2.2 There is a footway on at least one side of the road along this section of Dodwell Lane / Bursledon Road. The reduced traffic volumes and speeds will make on-street cycling along this section of road acceptable. 2.3 Notwithstanding this it is considered that there is the scope for further improvements to pedestrian and cycle provision along this section of Dodwell Lane / Bursledon Road.

  • Court Leet Presentments 2018
    COURT LEET PRESENTMENTS 2018 No. LEAD OFFICER LEAD PRESENTMENT MEMBER 1. Arthur Jeffery - On behalf of the City of Southampton Society The Chapel of Our Lady of Grace Leader of the Council – Cllr On behalf of the City of Southampton Society, I present the City Council for failing to Hammond acknowledge Our Lady of Grace Chapel as a site of Heritage status. Throughout Inland Homes’ negotiations to build apartment blocks on the site, they only made verbal comments to honour the Chapel, and now they merely plan some Public Art items, items over which City Council officers have no control. This situation has been confirmed by Mr Darren Shorter, the City’s Urban Design Manager. CoSS has, on several occasions, asked Inland Homes to acknowledge the Chapel’s 12th century origins and its’ status as a place of pilgrimage. Henry VIII himself came as a pilgrim in 1510. Wessex Archaeology have exhumed over 100 skeletons at the Chapel. The Chapel is a heritage site of substance and the City Council should act to record and publicise this important site. RESPONSE: There are planning conditions and legal obligations placed on the planning permission for Chapel Riverside relating to the archaeology of the site. The developer is required to investigate, record and publish findings of their investigation and the remains of the Chapel will also be celebrated through public art on the site. To date, the developer has engaged with these requirements and the necessary work is ongoing. COURT LEET PRESENTMENTS 2018 No. LEAD OFFICER LEAD PRESENTMENT MEMBER 2. Arthur Jeffery Mayflower Park Cabinet Member for Transport Mayflower Park is the City Centre’s only park on the waterfront.

  • Towards an International City of Culture
    Towards an International City of Culture Southampton City Council Arts and Heritage Strategic Vision Executive Summary This Strategic Vision defines Southampton City Council’s strategic role regarding Arts and Heritage provision within the wider context of the City of Southampton Strategy towards 2026, council priorities, the Southampton Heritage and Arts People initiative (SHAPe), and the sub-regional Partnership for Urban South Hampshire (PUSH). Southampton is a thriving and growing city with a diverse and dynamic population. However, these developments are in pockets and other parts of the city (economically, physically, socially) remain significantly deprived. We want to transform Southampton from being a gateway to a place of destination where people want to visit, put down roots and engage in community. The City has a fantastic opportunity over the next twenty years to transform its cultural offer and create an overall vibrant cultural soul, a sense of identity and uniqueness that connects people to each other and to Southampton as place. Its rich cultural makeup, internationally important heritage story and nationally dynamic arts and creative scene provide an inspirational resource for exploitation. The significance of Southampton within the Partnership for Urban South Hampshire (PUSH) regional development area will ensure that this potential can be realised particularly within the context of Living Places. Culture is critical to Southampton’s economic development, health and wellbeing and the creation of an attractive image of the city as a place in which people want to live, work and play. Without a vibrant cultural soul, Southampton becomes a divided, anonymous, modern and transient settlement with little civic pride or unique sense of place, and without an attractive, sustainable and stimulating environment that people value.

  • 4.4 Identification of Heritage Assets
    4.4 IDENTIFICATION OF HERITAGE ASSETS The Site (outlined in red in Figure 91) contains one listed building, Sydney Lodge (Grade II*) but no locally listed buildings or other designated heritage assets. The Site does not lie within a conservation area. Sydney Lodge and its curtilage buildings and structures have been assessed in detail within Section 4.1. For the purpose of this Baseline Assessment a 1 kilometre buffer has been drawn around the Site. Designated heritage assets within the 1 kilometre radius have been considered in this section and those requiring more detailed assessment taken forward in Section 4.3. The identified heritage assets are illustrated in Figure 91 (right). To the immediate north of the Site, just beyond College Copse, is the Grade II registered Royal Victoria Country Park. This comprises the grounds of the former military hospital within the extent of associated Ministry of Defence land ownership and covers 44 ha. Within the registered Park are four listed buildings, however, only one of these shares some inter-visibility with the Site, this being the Grade II* listed former Chapel which is now a visitor’s centre. Due to a lack of inter-visibility between the Site and the other three listed buildings, the latter will be considered merely in the context of the Registered Park and its overall significance. The Site constitutes part of the Park’s wider setting and the contribution this makes to its overall significance will form the main part of the assessment of the Royal Victoria Country Park. To the immediate west of the Site is Hamblecliffe House, Grade II, and its associated Stable Block, also Grade II.
