  • Hampshire and the Company of White Paper Makers
    HAMPSHIRE AND THE COMPANY OF WHITE PAPER MAKERS By J. H. THOMAS, B.A. HAMPSHIRE has long been associated with the manufacturing of writing materials, parchment being made at Andover, in the north of the county, as early as the 13th century.1 Not until some four centuries later, however, did Hampshire embark upon the making of paper, with Sir Thomas Neale (1565-1620/1) financing the construction of the one-vat mill at Warnford, in the Meon Valley, about the year 1618. As far as natural requirements were concerned, Hampshire was well-endowed for the making of paper. Clear, swift chalk-based streams ensured a steady supply of water, for use both as motive power and in the actual process of production. Rags, old ropes and sails provided the raw materials for conversion into paper, while labour was to be found in the predominantly rural population. The amount of capital required varied depend­ ing on the size of the mill concerned, and whether it was a conversion of existing plant, as happened at Bramshott during the years 1640-90, or whether the mill was an entirely new construction as was the case at Warnford and, so far as is known, the case with Frog Mill at nearby Curdridge. Nevertheless Hampshire, like other paper-making counties, was subject to certain restraining factors. A very harsh winter, freezing the water supply, would lead to a cut-back in production. A shortage of materials and the occurrence of Holy days would have a similar result, so that in 1700 contemporaries reckoned on an average working year of roughly 200 days.2 Serious outbreaks of plague would also hamper production, the paper-makers of Suffolk falling on hard times for this reason in 1638.3 Though Hampshire had only one paper mill in 1620, she possessed a total of ten by 1700,4 and with one exception all were engaged in the making of brown paper.

  • Cab 1909 for Decision Ward(S): Whiteley, Owslebury & Curdridge
    Appendix 2 CAB 1909 FOR DECISION WARD(S): WHITELEY, OWSLEBURY & CURDRIDGE CABINET 12 November 2009 PROPOSED NORTH WHITELEY DEVELOPMENT FORUM REPORT OF THE CORPORATE DIRECTOR (OPERATIONS) Contact Officer: Steve Tilbury Tel No: 01962 848 135 RECENT REFERENCES: None. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The report proposes the establishment of a North Whiteley Development Forum to provide a mechanism for local elected members and the wider community to contribute to and shape the development process for the proposed Major Development Area north of Whiteley. RECOMMENDATION: That the North Whiteley Development Forum be established with the terms of reference and membership as described in the report. 2 CAB1909 CABINET 12 November 2009 PROPOSED NORTH WHITELEY DEVELOPMENT FORUM REPORT OF THE CORPORATE DIRECTOR (OPERATIONS) DETAIL: 1 Introduction 1.1 The City Council’s emerging core strategy proposes the allocation of an area of new development to the north of the existing Whiteley settlement, the North Whiteley MDA. This proposed allocation of approximately 3000 dwellings is consistent with the agreed strategy for the Partnership for Urban South Hampshire (PUSH) and the South East Plan. 1.2 Although it would be overstating the position to say that the proposal is uncontentious, the extensive consultation on the core strategy has generated very little local opposition to the principle of development, provided that the infrastructure necessary to support the housing numbers and its impact on existing problems in Whiteley is properly provided for. This is, of course, entirely consistent with the objectives of the local planning authority and, to a large extent, those of the development interests. 1.3 Further development at Whiteley would present the opportunity to resolve some existing problems and to create a settlement of sufficient size to meet many of its own needs – a key sustainability objective.

  • Hedge End SDA Landscape Appraisal Summary
    North-North East of Hedge End Strategic Development Area SUMMARY LANDSCAPE APPRAISAL Introduction The South East Plan (published July 2009) refers to the allocation of a Strategic Development Area (SDA) in close proximity to Southampton ‘within the broad location to the North North/East of Hedge End’ (Policy SH2). The policy requires that areas of open land between the SDA and neighbouring settlements will be identified and maintained in order to prevent coalescence between the SDA and existing settlements and, additionally, to protect the separate identities of individual settlements. As part of the LDF work for Winchester District, it is expected that specific boundaries indicating these areas of ‘open land’ would be defined in DPDs (Development Plan Documents) and will include land which has a predominantly open and/or rural appearance. This landscape appraisal forms part of the wider evidence base that will be used to assess constraints and opportunities and influence the location of these boundaries. The SDA study area is broadly defined as the land between Botley, Hedge End, Horton Heath, Durley and Curdridge. The SDA crosses the district boundary between Eastleigh Borough Council and Winchester City Council. Since this landscape appraisal was started the South East Plan has been revoked by Government. The future of the SDA proposal is therefore uncertain, but the landscape appraisal has been concluded and published in order to be able to inform any future decisions about the location of an SDA or other major development in the area. Methodology The appraisal is a combination of field work/professional judgement resulting from a visual site assessment carried out in 2009/2010 and a desk top study based on GIS constraint maps and recognised documents, some with recommendations as listed below.

  • A Place-Name Survey Introduction
    © Kelly Kilpatrick 2014. This research is made freely available and may be used without permission, provided that acknowledgement is made of the author, title and web-address. 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.
