  • Newbury Street Through to Chantry Street
    Andover Town Improvements - Newbury Street through to Chantry Street www.testvalley.gov.uk www.hants.gov.uk Hampshire County Council, working with Test Valley Borough Council, has been developing ideas to improve the area at the top of the town from Newbury Street, along the upper High Street and part of Chantry Street. The scheme aims to enhance the area with improvements for pedestrians and cyclists to make it easier to access shops and services at the top of the town. The design and materials will reflect the character of this part of the town and its historic importance. Introduction Background to the scheme The Andover Town Access Plan (2012, ref CW3.4b) has highlighted the need to improve the environment at the top of Andover St. Mary’s the town for shoppers, pedestrians and cyclists. The Andover College Church Town Access Plan was developed to help plan for better Leisure connection between the town and its facilities.

The audit highlighted the need to address the narrow footways to allow better and Chantry safer pedestrian access to the shops and facilities along its Centre route and into the main shopping area. Improvements to the top of the town are proposed to assist Guildhall the regeneration initiative for the town centre which recognises the importance of specialist / independent traders and the potential to enhance the vitality and viability of businesses and retail activity in this part of the town.

  • Late Saxon Pits Under Oxford Castle Mound: Excavations in 1952
    Late Saxon Pits under Oxford Castle Mound: Excavations in 1952 By E. M. JaPE O CCUPATION levels sealed off in the later eleventh century have long been sought for excavation in Oxford, as in other English towns. There have been few criteria by which eleventh century pottery could be distinguished from that of the twelfth in this region, and much has in the past been assigned to the twelfth century by a too general analogy with material from known or presumed twelfth century sites, such as mound and bailey castles. This ha~ tended to exaggerate the importance of the effect of the Norman conquest on the minor industries and crafts of the common people. Moreover, the topo­ graphical problems of interpreting the Domesday record of Oxford, and in fact the whole early history ofthe town, can probably now be clarified most through planned excavating. A search for sites in Oxford which might yield late Saxon levels led me to a small triangular space (FIG. 31) on the south of the castle mound (apparently thrown up between 1066 and 1071). Here in the nine­ teenth century the mound had been cut back some feet at present ground level and revetted with a stone wall. It was hoped, with justification as it turned out, that this cutting back would not have gone deep enough to disturb any pre-mound occupation levels which might have been preserved beneath it. The Oxfordshire County Council readily gave permission for excavation, and the work was carried on for the Ashmolean Museum in July, 1952.' In spite of the restricted space, this small excavation was wholly successful in achieving its aims, for a honeycomb of undisturbed late Saxon pits was revealed under the structure of the mound, and these contained much pottery.

  • The Pubs, Inns and Beer Houses of Brentford Introduction the General
    The Pubs, Inns and Beer Houses of Brentford Introduction The general history of the development of public houses has been well documented elsewhere. Although ale had been drunk since the Bronze Age, formal drinking establishments probably originated when tabernae (taverns) were set up at points along the road network built by the Romans from the 1st century. As well as providing facilities for travellers and pilgrims, inns traditionally acted as community gathering places. In Brentford the heyday of inns such as The Three Pigeons and The Coach and Horses was during the 18th and early 19th centuries when travel on horseback and in horse-drawn coaches was at its height. The consumption of gin, introduced from Holland in 1586, eventually gave rose to a new kind of establishment where customers were served at a bar and they drank standing up. Partly to discourage the drinking of gin the Beerhouse Act of 1830 allowed any householder to sell beer and cider on the payment of a two guinea fee to the Excise. The number of beer shops then grew very rapidly in areas such as Brentford and concern about this situation led to the passing of the 1869 Wine and Beerhouse Act which was designed to curtail the number of outlets. All drinking establishments, including beer shops were then brought under the control of local magistrates. However many houses that did not obtain a full licence managed to continue in business providing that the house conformed to all legislation and was kept orderly. These continued to simply sell beer and cider.

  • Look Around a Look at Historical & Archaeological Issues in Andover and the Surrounding Villages
    Look Around A look at historical & archaeological issues in Andover and the surrounding villages. 2014 Number 3, September “Look Around” is the newsletter of the ANDOVER HISTORY & ARCHAEOLOGY SOCIETY www.andover-history.org.uk Note from the Chair This year we have all enjoyed the long, fine summer but there has been sadness too as we have remembered the start of the First World War one hundred years ago. Everywhere communities were touched by the horrors of that war as their men were killed or returned badly injured from the fighting, and our members have been involved in commemorative events both in Andover and in its surrounding villages. One event in Andover was a public Service of Commemoration on the lawns in front of Andover War Memorial Hospitable and the Society was pleased to contribute to that event an exhibition about the history of the hospital and its ongoing service to the community. Adding to our enjoyment of the summer was our very interesting ‘behind the scenes’ visit to the Hampshire Record Office and our walk around Hurstbourne Tarrant. Mike Nash, our guide for that walk, is Chairman of Hurstbourne Tarrant Historical Society and the links we have with other societies in our area are very important for us. For many years Phoebe Merrick, founder and current chair of the Lower Test Valley Archaeological Study Group in Romsey, has arranged an annual gathering of all the societies in the Test valley with an interest the past. It provides us all with an opportunity to meet each other and to share the work we are doing.
