This report presents the findings of a detailed Agricultural Land Classification (ALC) survey of 40 hectares of land at Brook Avenue, Warsash on the Hampshire coast between Southampton and Portsmouth. The survey was carried out during February 1998. 2. The survey was undertaken by the Farming and Rural Conservation Agency (FRCA) * on behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF), in connection with MAFF's statutory input lo the Fareham Borough Local Plan. This survey supersedes any previous ALC information for this land. 3. The work was conducted by members of the Resource Planning Team in the Eastern Region of FRCA. The land has been graded in accordance with the published MAFF ALC guidelines and criteria (MAFF, 1988). A description of the ALC grades and subgrades is given in Appendix 1. 4. At the time of survey the land in agricultural use on the site consisted of penmanenl grassland grazed by ponies and areas of rough grassland. Most of the survey area consists of 'Other land' the majorily of which comprises residential areas and the remainder is woodland, trackways and nurseries. SUMMARY 5. The findings of the survey are shown on the enclosed ALC map. The map has been drawn at a scale of 1:10,000.

    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.

    Part Four 1946 -1964 B

    Part Four 1946 - 1964 Colin Wilton-Smith “I remember the honesty and trust displayed by the occupiers - good old days!” In January 1963 I started work as an articled pupil with Hall, Pain & Foster, Chartered Surveyors and Estate Agents, at 48 West Street, Fareham (now Beals Estate Agents). I was one of three articled pupils and we were required to collect rents on a Monday of each week. One week covered the Gosport area; the alternate week was Titchfield and the Western wards of Fareham. The Titchfield rent round involved, amongst others, the collection of rents in Catisfield Lane, the centre of Titchfield village and areas close by - some 50 or 60 properties with weekly rents of anything between 10 shillings (50p) and 15 shillings (75p). I rode a BSA 250cc scooter, a lethal machine - lots of power and little stability. On one occasion, before the village was by-passed and when Catisfield Lane led to the village, I skidded into a ditch scattering the rent money amongst the leaves and with the scooter ending up somewhere down the road. Rents in the village were collected mainly from East Street, the cottages in Church Path and West Street. In those days if the tenants were not in, the door was left unlocked and the rent and rent book would be on the table inside. Most of the tenants were employed in the market gardening/ strawberry industries and during the strawberry season, bags or punnets of strawberries would be left for me, testing my aptitude of riding the scooter fully laden.
