    OV5 iUSTORY OF r StettetyA, & 'Ditfnict Aocal Society PREFACE This paper has been written with the intention of setting down basic facts in the history of Eastleigh as they are known, and of drawing attention to the vast amount of detail still needing to be discovered and recorded. The very name of Eastleigh has its history and, together with all the other place-names in our modem Borough, a long one, with variations in spelling, popularity and expanse of land indicated by the name. Research already carried out by members of the Eastleigh and District Local History Society has been published in a series of Occasional and Special Papers. Reference to these and other publications is made in the text so that more detailed information may be obtained when needed. The reader is encouraged to set himself in the right mood by making sure that he knows the history of his own patch. Who built the house? Why was it so designed? What materials were used and where did they come from? Why was the road so named? What is the nature of the garden soil and how was it composed? Find out the answers to these and other questions and, above all, remember that today’s events are tomorrow’s history. This may inspire you to seek further information or advice and, possibly, to meet others with similar aims. Local History Societies exist for this purpose; they welcome visitors and new members. The Eastleigh and District Local History Society meets on the fourth Thursday of the month, the Botley and Curdridge Society on the last Friday of the month, and the West End Society on the first Wednesday of the month, except in July and August when outside visits are usually organised.

  • Brass Founder Horatio Thomas Holmes Was Born on the Xx/Xxx/1842
    A Biography of HORATIO THOMAS HOLMES (18842-1928) Brass Founder Horatio Thomas Holmes was born on the xx/xxx/1842 (bap 24 mar) in Great Driffield, Yorkshire.( a market town........) The 4th child of William Holmes., a cooper . In 1845 when Horatio was just 3 years of age his mother Maria died . The family subsequently moved to Kingston-upon-Hull, where in 1849 his father married Betsy Brumpton ; it was Betsy who brought him up, and he was to name his first child after her......... In 1862 Horatio married Jane Ward, they had two children, Betsy(1863) and John William “Bill”(1865) ,before moving to Sunderland in 1866. Horatio was by profession a brass founder, and probably worked in one of the large shipyards on the Wear. Whilst in Sunderland, Horatio and Jane had a further 6 children, Eleanor(1867), Thomas “Tom” (1869), Henry“Harry” (1872), Jane (1876), Alfred “Alf” (1877) and Eliza (1880). These were productive times for the Holmes family! It is interesting to note that in 1840 SUNDERLAND had 65 shipyards. In 1875 Thomas Ridley Oswald moved his shipbuilding operation from the Wear to Woolston and by 1881 would be employing over 1200 men. ,the major source of employment in a village whose total population in 1871 had been fewer than 1,500. Oswald Mordaunt Shipyard c 1876 Just 5 years after TR Oswald moved his operations south, Horatio moved his family to Woolston;. I suspect that Horatio was motivated to become a big fish in a small pond In 1881 Woolston had yet to become part of Southampton.

    Richard Preston The development of public libraries in Southampton, 1887-1921 In this essay, I intend to trace the development of the branch structure of Southampton libraries from the adoption of the Public Libraries Act, 1855 in June 1887 to the opening of the first libraries on the eastern side of the River Itchen in October 1921. It is a theme held together by the restriction that no more than a penny rate be applied to the free library. Impetus to adopt the Act, as part of the celebrations to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria, came in late 1886 from the Council of the Hartley Institution. The Chairman of the Hartley Council, J E Le Feuvre, thought that the constitution of the proposed Free Libraries Committee would be but slightly different from that of the Hartley Council. The nucleus of the town library would be the 25,000 volumes in the Hartley Library, with the proceeds of the penny rate used to sustain a branch structure in the poorer parts of the town. The more cynical thought this was a stratagem to appropriate ratepayers’ money to prop up an ailing library. The Town Council decisively rejected the proposal. The Hartley initiative, however, was taken up by members of the Southampton Parliamentary Debating Society under its Speaker (ie chairman) Thomas Morgan. A Town meeting of ratepayers voted on 13 June 1887 for adoption of the Public Libraries Act. Representatives of the two sponsoring bodies – Surgeon-General William Maclean on behalf of the Hartley Council and Thomas Morgan for the Debating Society – proposed and seconded the crucial motion.

Through a series of case studies, including an examination of the role of religious controversy in fin-de-siècle Parliamentary politics, it shows that religious belief and practice were more important in turn-of-the-century Britain than has been appreciated. The argument that the onset of secularization in Britain as defined by both a decline in religious attendance and personal belief can be pushed back until at least the 1920s or 1930s is not new. Yet, the insight that religious belief and practice remained a constituent part of late-Victorian and Edwardian national identity and public life has thus far failed to penetrate political, social, and cultural histories of the period.
