In those days it was attached to the Scaffolding (Great Britain) depot and an aunt and uncle lived next door and shared our pantry as a makeshift air raid shelter. This room had a door leading into the back yard. My first vivid memory was (I think) during the Blitz on Southampton. The most frightening incident was my father and uncle holding onto the door which was shaking from the blast of bombs.

  • 4.4 Identification of Heritage Assets
    4.4 IDENTIFICATION OF HERITAGE ASSETS The Site (outlined in red in Figure 91) contains one listed building, Sydney Lodge (Grade II*) but no locally listed buildings or other designated heritage assets. The Site does not lie within a conservation area. Sydney Lodge and its curtilage buildings and structures have been assessed in detail within Section 4.1. For the purpose of this Baseline Assessment a 1 kilometre buffer has been drawn around the Site. Designated heritage assets within the 1 kilometre radius have been considered in this section and those requiring more detailed assessment taken forward in Section 4.3. The identified heritage assets are illustrated in Figure 91 (right). To the immediate north of the Site, just beyond College Copse, is the Grade II registered Royal Victoria Country Park. This comprises the grounds of the former military hospital within the extent of associated Ministry of Defence land ownership and covers 44 ha. Within the registered Park are four listed buildings, however, only one of these shares some inter-visibility with the Site, this being the Grade II* listed former Chapel which is now a visitor’s centre. Due to a lack of inter-visibility between the Site and the other three listed buildings, the latter will be considered merely in the context of the Registered Park and its overall significance. The Site constitutes part of the Park’s wider setting and the contribution this makes to its overall significance will form the main part of the assessment of the Royal Victoria Country Park. To the immediate west of the Site is Hamblecliffe House, Grade II, and its associated Stable Block, also Grade II.

Actes de Colloques n. 4 1986, pages 421 à 430 36 SOUTHAMPTON WATER AND THE SOLENT : BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF THE MULTI-USE OF AN ESTUARINE SYSTEM. LOCKWOOD A.P.M.*. ABSTRACT. An outline is provided of (1) some factors which have influenced the clam and oyster populations of the area (2) the effect of nutrient load on phytoplankton production (3) the correlation beween Mesodinium blooms and the summer oxygen levels in the stratified part of the estuary and (4) a des­ cription of the fauna and flora in regions adjacent to some industrial inputs. Southampton Water and the Solent, with their associated river inputs, form a complex waterway interesting scientifically both in its own right and from what may be learnt of the effects of human influence. In both respects the area parallels the baie de Seine. The region contains a number of locations which have been designated sites of special scientific interest (SSSIs) be­ cause of the presence of rare species or of uncommon communities or threate­ ned habitats (fig. 1). It is also subject to intense human activity of a variety of kinds. Department of Oceanography : University of Southampton, S09 5NH, U.K. 422 Principal amongst these are : 1) civic and domestic inputs via a number of sewage outlets, 2) industrial effluents, particularly along the western shore of Southampton Water, 3) river inputs with their associated nutrient load from agricultural land, trout farm etc.. , 4) dredging for gravel and the maintenance of shipping lanes, 5) sport sailing, and 6) commercial fishing for Oysters (Ostrea edulis), American Clam (Mercenaria mercenaria) and Bass (Dicentrachus lahrax) together with semi-commercial or sport fishing for Cod (Gadus morhua), Mackerel (Scomber scomber) Plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) and other species.

  • Private Ernest Gough Coxon Royal Army Medical Corps
    In memory of Private Ernest Gough Coxon Royal Army Medical Corps Regimental Number 101620 Ernest Gough Coxon was born in Netherseal in April 1890, son of William Brotherhood Coxon and Elizabeth (nee Gough). He was baptised on 29th March 1891. Ernest was the third of four children. He had two brothers, John William and Edward, and a sister, Mary Elizabeth. In the 1891 Census records, Ernest and his family were living at the Cricketts Inn, Acresford. His grandfather John Brotherhood was a Licensed Victualler and his father was a Brewery Labourer. His mother Elizabeth was the Housekeeper. 1 1 1 Page Family Tree information provided by Jill Hempsall using records from Ancestry.co.uk The 1891 Census shows Ernest’s father William was recorded with a surname of Brotherhood, as is the whole family. This seems to be something that changes for each Census. Sometimes the family are registered as Coxon (1861, 1901 and 1911), and sometimes Brotherhood (1871, 1881).2 Ernest’s grandfather is a Brotherhood. 2 2 Page www.ancestry.co.uk 1891 Census At the time of the 1891 Census, there were five cottages around the Cricketts Inn, with families living in each one. The occupations listed were Maltster, Brewery Waggoner, Coachman, and Farm Labourer/Shepherd.3 In the 1901 Census, Ernest was 11 years old and still living at the Cricketts Inn with his family and grandfather. Ernest’s father was a Farm Labourer Waggoner and his mother a Dairy Maid. Ernest’s eldest brother John was a Farm Labourer Cowman.4 By 1911, Ernest was 21 years old, single and still living with his family.

  • Hospital Planning
    HOSPITAL PLANNING: REVISED THOUGHTS ON THE ORIGIN OF THE PAVILION PRINCIPLE IN ENGLAND by ANTHONY KING OF the many domestic reforms hastened by the Crimean War, the rethinking of hospital design was one which most concerned the mid-Victorian architect. The deplorable state of military hospitals revealed by the Report of the Commission appointed to inquire into the Regulations affecting the Sanitary Condition of the Army, the Organization of Military Hospitals and the Treatment of the Sick and Wounded, 1858,1 stimulated the discussion of civil hospital reform2 which was already active in the mid-1850s. The change which took place from the early to the late nineteenth century, from conditions 'where cross-infection was a constant menace' to those 'where hospitals [were] ofpositive benefit to a substantial number ofpatients'3 occurred largely in the years following this report; improved medical knowledge, nursing reforms, increased attention to sanitation, and better planning and administra- tion, combined to ensure that Florence Nightingale's maxim-'The first requirement in a hospital is that it should do the sick no harm'4-was far less relevant in 1890 than it had been fifty years before. Prior to 1861, there had been a considerable variety of different architectural designs for hospitals in this country, 'but in the 1870s and 1880s, the vast majority of new hospitals and rebuilt hospitals conformed to one basic plan-a series of separate pavilions placed parallel to one another'.5 The 'pavilion system', as conceived by its advocates, consisted preferably of single storey, or failing this, two-storey ward blocks, usually placed at right angles to a linking corridor which might either be straight or enclosing a large central square; the pavilions were widely separated, usually by lawns or gardens.

  • The Ancient Parish of Hound
    356 THE ANCIENT PARISH OF HOUND. [From the Hampshire Observer^ The northern part of this parish was formerly covered with heaths, which formed its extensive commons. This land had much the same character as Beaulieu Heath on the opposite side of Southampton Water. Plateau gravel, which has been quarried from time immemorial, lies upon its higher parts, as it does on Beaulieu Heath, and formerly, I have no doubt, the land had upon it many barrows tumuli thrown up as funeral monuments to important people of the Celtic race, such as . still remain on Beaulieu Heath. A tumulus still exists near Netley Hill, where there are traces of others. From a similar tumulus near the border of the parish at West End, an urn was taken,' containing the cremated remains of some chieftain of the Bronze Age,, and this is now preserved in the Hartley Museum. There is some evidence to show that the Celtic inhabitants of this part of Hampshire occupied the peninsular knolls between the little creeks on both sides of Southampton Water as dwelling sites. Such positions would doubtless have afforded them facilities for obtaining fish as a food supply and have been good defensive sites. The discovery of Romano- British pottery on such a knoll, where the Superintendent's house of the Royal Military Asylum at Netley now stands, shows that Hound had its inhabitants long before the time of the Saxon Conquest.. That the Romans occupied part of it is proved by their remains which have been discovered. When the Military Asylum, attached to Netley Hospital, was built, in 1867, in addition to the Romano-British pottery I have mentioned, a considerable number of Roman coins were found.
