Original copies are now very scarce [it has been re-printed and is also available to read on the web].

We have to express our thanks to the proprietors of the Hampshire Telegraph and the Portsmouth Times for permission to use several extracts from articles on the County which appeared in those papers some years since; and to Mrs Jewell, of Emsworth, in this Parish, for information which her great age and most retentive memory have enabled her, most kindly, to place at our service.

    Title of document | Month Year The Council’s response to the Main Issues raised May 2021 1. Introduction 1.1 This report sets out the Council’s responses to the main issues identified at Regulation 19 stage in the plan preparation. It draws upon the main issues identified in the CD17 2019 Pre-Submission Consultation Summary for the 2019 Consultation and its associated CD19 Addendum for the 2020 Consultation. For clarity, these are set out under two separate sections. 1.2 The Council’s commentary on these main issues has been prepared by Council officers and published post submission – though it is acknowledged that a brief response from the local planning authority would normally be published alongside the main issues. Nevertheless, the report is set out in such a way to provide a clear audit trail of how issues have been addressed between the CD09 2019 Regulation 19 Local Plan Consultation and the CD08 2020 Regulation 19 Local Plan Consultation. 1.3 The report sets out the main issues in a tabular format with reference to the relevant paragraph number in each report, and where appropriate provides commentary on how the Council has responded, or proposes to address the soundness or legal compliance comments. Any proposed amendments that were outstanding at Submission are set out in the CD27 Changes for the Inspector to consider as part of the Examination. Commentary is also provided where the Council considers no further changes are necessary. 1 2. 2019 Pre-Submission Consultation Main issues: legal compliance Para in Main Issues raised Council’s Response CD17 Procedural 1.17 Respondents felt that the Local Plan has been produced in haste The Plan was produced swiftly so as to maintain maximum control and that the pre-submission consultation was premature.

    Warblington with Emsworth & Notes on Rowland’S Castle Warblington with Emsworth & Notes on Rowland’S Castle

    Warblington with Emsworth & notes on Rowland’s Castle Warblington with Emsworth & notes on Rowland’s Castle 1.0 PARISH Havant (formerly Warblington) 2.0 HUNDRED Bosmere 3.0 NGR 472900 105400 4.0 GEOLOGY Brickearth. 5.0 SITE CONTEXT (Map 2) Warblington is something of an oasis in an urban sprawl. Immediately to the north (0.5km) the expansion of Havant has been held in check by east / west route of the A27(T), and across wetlands to the east (1km) is the small town of Emsworth. The church and ruined castle occupy the highest ground (approximately 9m AOD) overlooking a stream just 200m to the east that drains into the nearby Langstone and Chichester Harbours (c. 300m south). 6.0 PLAN TYPE & DESCRIPTION (Maps 3, 4, & 5) Church and manor house 6.1.1 Church & manor house The core of the manor of Warblington is the Saxon parish church of St Thomas a Becket and, c. 150m north of it, the moated Warblington Castle. The moat is conspicuous on the Tithe Map of c. 1841 and all subsequent Ordnance Surveys. The remains of a substantial C16 gateway draw the eye but this was built on the site of an earlier moated manor. Moated sites (excluding castles) tend to be a feature of C12 to C15. There is also mention of a park at Warblington and VCH (3: 134) suggests that this might have surrounded the manor house. Moat, park, and the medieval new town at Emsworth (see Paragraph 6.2.1) are features that are quite consistent with the aspirations of the late medieval gentry, but this raises a problem.

Thus I was encouraged to start out on a journey of exploration into the history of postal services in the local area, a journey which has given me many hours of enjoyment. What I have achieved has been helped enormously by those of the Waterlooville Philatelic Society notably the late Eric Whyley and Mike English, and also the late Geoffrey Salter of the Waterlooville Library. Much of my research was published in the Journal of the Hampshire Postal History Society of which I was editor for a number of years. I must also thank David Coxon whose father took over from George Pook as postmaster in the early fifties for his memories and Paul Costen [www.costen.co.uk] who allowed me access to his scanned collection of postcards to search for Post Offices.

    The Real Natives

    ‘Real Natives’ A Study of the History of Oyster Fishing in Chichester Harbour for the Sussex Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority Dr Ian Friel MA, PhD, FSA © Ian Friel 2020 Oysters - a once-common food Poor food for friars ‘Give me then of thy gold, to make our cloister’, Quoth he, ‘for many a mussel and many an oyster ‘When other men have been full well at ease ‘Hath been our food, our cloister for to raise’ Geoffrey Chaucer, The Summoner’s Tale, c 1387-88 A Chichester bet In 1813 a man named Martin from Dell Quay Mill and another named Fogden from Donnington met at Chalkright’s fishmonger shop in South Street, Chichester, to settle a bet as to who could eat the most oysters: ‘in a short time each swallowed four hundred large ones’ until Martin called for a halt. Fogden agreed, as long as Martin paid for the oysters. They then went to the King’s Head for a glass of brandy, followed by an eel pie supper at Martin’s house. Ipswich Journal, 11 December 1813, p 1 The London Oyster Season opens: Billingsgate Fishmarket, August 1835: ‘At an early hour a scene of unusual bustle and confusion was apparent. Not less than 5,000 persons were in waiting to be served with the ‘real natives’, while the streets in the vicinity were blocked up with every species of locomotive vehicle to convey the oysters to the various quarters of the metropolis. There were no less than fifty sail of vessels in front of Billingsgate laden with oysters, chiefly from the Kentish coast.
