Southampton is a major port city on the south coast, located 75 miles south-west of London and 19 miles North-west of Portsmouth. The city, which is a unitary authority has an estimated population of 253,651, with the wider metropolitan area including Portsmouth supporting over 1.5million inhabitants, the 6th largest Urbana area in the U.K. Just over a quarter of the jobs available in the city are in the health and education sector. A further 19 per cent are property and other business and the third-largest sector is wholesale and retail, which accounts for 16.2 percent. Numerous large scale developments are planned within the city. We look forward to establishing a chapter of YEP at the centre of England’s south coast economy.

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.

" - ; THE HAMPSHIRE ANTIQUARY AND NATURALIST: BEING THE LOCAL NOTES AND QUERIES, REPORTS OF MEETINGS OF THE HAMPSHIRE FIELD CLUB, & OTHER ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND NATURAL HISTORY MATTERS REPRINTED FROM "THE HAMPSHIRE INDEPENDENT." VOLUME I, SOUTHAMPTON : F. A. EDWARDS, Hampshire Independent OFFICE. LONDON : ELLIOT STOCK, 62, PATERNOSTER Row, E.G. 1891. PRINTED BY F. A. EDWARDS, Hampshire Independent OFFICE, SOUTHAMPTON. PREFACE. In response to a frequently expressed desire that the Local Notes and Queries and other articles on Hampshire antiquities appearing in The Hampshire Independent should be reprinted in a more convenient form for permanent reference than is afforded by the columns of a weekly newspaper, which too few think worthy of preservation, this little book has been prepared as an instalment, to be followed by others if warranted by sufficient support being enlisted. It has often too been suggested that there should be some permanent record of the meetings of the Hampshire Field Club. This Club is doing much by its periodical visits to various parts of the county to make known many interesting features in out of the way corners, and to elicit an interest in local antiquities, which has already borne fruit in increased study and better preservation. The only full and regularly published reports of these meetings are those of The Hampshire Independent, and the republication of these will doubtless be welcomed by many besides members of the Club. Some perhaps may also value the republication of the weekly weather tables of the Ordnance Survey Office, Southampton, and the monthly weather reports contributed by Mr.

  • Journal of the Southampton Local History Forum
    A D Morton The French Raid on Southampton 1338, Part One Historians of the French Raid stress Southampton’s fatal vulnerability on its waterside, the stealth of its attackers, the panic-stricken flight of its inhabitants, the ferocity of the English counter-attack, and a lesson finally learned that the town had to be wholly walled in. We must take none of that for granted; repetition only broadens the myth. Stories have continued to be told, for no good reason except that older historians told them, at a time when few sources were easily available. In consequence, as other and more significant texts have later been edited and published, the tendency has been to read them in the context of an already established story, sometimes to ignore them. Dating and Timing For instance, the customary dating of the raid largely derives from two sources available to the Victorians, Froissart’s Chroniques and Stow’s Annals. Froissart says that it began on a Sunday, in the morning, when the townspeople were at mass, and Stow provides the actual date and time, October 4, around nine of the clock. The two sources complement each other, for October 4 1338 was a Sunday in the Julian calendar. Nonetheless, they are wrong: the raiders landed on the Monday at mid-afternoon. A difference of only 30 hours seems not worth the arguing about, except that it carries large consequences for our understanding of what really happened. The earliest sources―an inquisition into the loss of the king’s wool,1 six months after the event―a royal council,2 eight months after the event―and Murimuth,3 the first of the chroniclers to write about the raid (d 1347)―all date the beginning of the raid to the Monday after Michaelmas, which was October 5 in 1338, again in the Julian calendar.

  • Southampton Archaeology Society
    Southampton Archaeology Society October 2017 Newsletter Dear Members The last three months have been busy for Southampton Archaeology Society, following the final lecture of our 2016/17 programme in April, when Matt Garner told us about the three-year excavation project at Quarr Abbey, Isle of Wight. At the AGM in May members agreed on a small rise in subscriptions from May 2018, and we also enjoyed a lively presentation from leaders of Southampton Young Archaeologists’ Club about their work and adventures with young people. This summer promises lots of activity, with the CBA Festival of Archaeology starting on 15th July, and some local events are featured in later pages. There are two current exhibitions in Southampton on the subject of castles: Southampton Castle at Tudor House Museum and Garden; and at Southampton Art Gallery is a major art show Capture the Castle with both earlier romantic and modern interpretations of the theme - not to be missed. Southampton and Winchester are both celebrating their connections with Jane Austen for the 200th anniversary of her death, on 17th July 1817 in Winchester. Jane briefly attended school in Southampton and lived in the city between 1806 and 1809: there will be walks, talks, concerts, a literary weekend and even a Ball, continuing until October! Sarah Matt Garner’s leaving “do” Soon after our last newsletter went to press, Matt Garner announced he would be leaving Southampton City Council Archaeological Unit, after 30 years’ service. Matt’s leaving party was held at the Platform Tavern Southampton (so named after the former C18th gun platform on which it was built).

The Transforming Cities Fund (TCF) will play a vital part in supporting this vision. This investment will be a catalyst for change in people’s everyday commuting habits and is strategically aligned to the goals set out in the City Council’s Green City Charter, the Hampshire 2050 vision and the Climate Emergency recently declared by the County Council. Our planned programme of major investment will transform transport infrastructure in a focussed way, rethinking how we use road space ensuring it works for everyone and ensuring the City Region is fit for the future. Our key plans include an enhanced bus travel experience, a high-quality network of cycle routes and liveable neighbourhoods where active travel is a safe and attractive choice. Together, these will contribute to our long term aims of reducing congestion, improving air quality, enhancing health and wellbeing and boosting economic growth. We have made excellent progress on delivering a number of our TCF Tranche 1 schemes and these are already improving how people connect to places of employment and local facilities in Southampton and Hampshire.

  • Late Medieval Hampshire
    Solent Thames Research Framework Bob Edwards , December 2006 Medieval Hampshire 1066 - 1540 Inheritance For much of Hampshire the framework of land division and settlement had been set by the end of the Saxon period, particularly in the chalk areas of the county. Here land ownership was dominated by the Bishop of Winchester and the Prior of St Swithun’s, most estates being in their hands before 1066. The wooded clays and heath areas to the north, east and south of the chalk were occupied but it is in these areas that probably witnessed the greatest level of development in the medieval period. Winchester and Southampton continued to be the major urban centres. These two major towns were accompanied by places such as Andover, Basingstoke, Odiham, and Alton, which were royal estate centres and probably proto-towns with markets (Basingstoke’s and Alton’s (Neatham) being recorded in Domesday Book). Christchurch (now Dorset) and Portchester were the only other burhs in Hampshire. Portchester does not seem to have had any urban character before 1066 whilst Christchurch was a small borough. By the later Saxon period it is probable that many of Hampshire’s villages were in existence, some of which are known, through documents or survival of fabric, to have had parish churches. The parish system was continuing to develop with some areas already with a parish system recognisable today by 1066. In other parts of the county the Saxon parochia were still evident (Hase, 1994). Open field systems associated with the villages, particularly those in the river valleys, are likely to have been in existence by the end of the Saxon period.

Important discussions are taking place which will shape the future relation between Britain and the EU. The economic analyses published on the issue have, so far, largely failed to grasp the attention of the general public. Most of the discussions about Brexit have focused at a national level and there has been very little evidence-based discussion at a local level. This project aims at stimulating a reflexive participatory research process involving citizens, policy-makers, business people and civil-society representatives. It introduces an innovative methodology that contextualises quantitative data through expert interviews and the analysis of local sources. The reports and discussion panels organised within the framework of the project seek to increase our understanding about the impact of Brexit at a local level. 14th-century Merchant’s House, Southampton Front cover: Control tower, Southampton Docks 1 Understanding Brexit impacts at a local level Southampton case study This report contributes to the broader research project co-ordinated by the Conflict and Civil Society Research Unit at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).

  • Southampton Old Town Walk
    Southampton Old Town Walk Southampton Old Town Walk ‘The total circuit of the walls, as taken from Mr Milne’s survey of the town in Faden’s new map of Hampshire, is two thousand two hundred yards, or one mile and a quarter.’ Henry Englefield, 1805 Follow the line of some of England’s best-preserved medieval Town Walls and step back in history to find out more about Southampton’s Old Town. T his series of panels guides you around the encircling walls to reveal the events and people who have shaped our city, from the medieval merchant John Wytegod to WFG Spranger, the nineteenth century saviour of Tudor House. We recommend you start the Walk at the Bargate, the historic entrance to the medieval town, but you can begin at any point. The Old Town has over 90 listed buildings and more than 30 ancient monuments, with medieval wine vaults, an array of medieval churches, and fine Georgian houses and hotels. All this and a view of the waterfront, where ships continue the sea-going tradition of Southampton. The Old Town Walk is one of several features you can enjoy in this part of Southampton. In addition to Tudor House and Garden (www. tudorhouseandgarden.com) there is also the Medieval Merchant’s House at 58 French Street (limited opening; www.english-heritage.co.uk for information) . Holyrood Church (junction of High Street and Bernard Street) is the Merchant Seamen memorial church. Bombed in WW2, this ruin now holds memories you can experience through sound posts. Other walks you can enjoy include the QE2 Mile, featuring a series of pavement plaques running south from the Bargate to Town Quay, telling the history of Southampton in the words of contemporary authors from the first to the 21st century.
